One thing that would be interesting to known more about is
why does jack not the hangup the machine at once when I start it
without the "-R" flag. (wich will results in a lot more xruns)

Without the "-R" flag: (almost all the times ...)
- jackd runs without locking up the machine
 until I try to connect any client.
- after stopping jackd (Ctrl-C) without conecting any client,
the machine dont behave correctly after this, for example
when a 'A' key in the terminal I got any other character, programs
does not start correctly, the machine does not shutdown
correctly, but have not seen any "oops" (but maybe just a random
coincidence ....)
But if it's a spin_lock(...) problem why does not just lock up my 
machine in this
case ?

I would interesting to known what happens  if someone else could try 
starting
the jackd without the "-R" and latest ALSA CVS. (on a SMP machine .. -;)
