Could you clarify exactly what the problem is and when it occurs?  I assume
that you're starting jackd, doing stuff, and then stopping jackd (using
ctrl-C, the qjackctl equivalent, or something along these lines).

We did experience some problems on shutdown about 12 or so months ago, but
they appear to have been resolved.  However, that doesn't mean that
something similar is not lurking in the code base.  You might like to check
out ticket 329 to get a feeling for the sort of problem that was.

Are you able to get a core dump from jackd and use gdb to determine where
the crash is actually happening?  That is, are we seeing a crash within
libffado, or is the problem within jackd code?  This may help us narrow down
the potential causes and speed up your search.
