Thank you Mike, switching to jackd2 does work for me as well! I am a bit
hesitant to switch my system to jackd2 as there are some other
applications that depend (more) on jackd1. I wonder if this workaround,
for which I am very thankful, means that the crash with jackd1 will not
me looked into further, or if it may be worked on nevertheless.
best, Peter
