... and I'd be looking for what exactly?  Again, I don't see the behaviour
you're describing, which does suggest that your system suffers a limitation
that mine doesn't. The bottom line is that jack gives the app roughly
5.33msec to generate and deliver a buffer full of audio. If the app takes
longer than that to generate and deliver, jack kicks it out of the graph.
My system makes it in time, yours doesn't :-). You could possibly improve the
robustness by adding a timeout setting (-t xxxx) to your jack start command.
If it's just the loading of instruments that's causing you grief, that might
help.

cheers.
