yes thanks for adding this v useful functionality!
I must apologise for the incorrect information regarding
mus_audio_read_buffers - that was indicated by gdb but appears to
be false. By adding printfs i beleive the segfault happens here:


static int sndjack_getnuminchannels(void){
  int lokke=0;
  const char **ports=jack_get_ports(sndjack_client,"alsa_pcm:capture_*","",0);

  while(ports[lokke]!=NULL){ ////// ****appears to crash here with lokke=0
    lokke++;
  }
  if(lokke<2) return 2;
  return lokke;
}


I'm using jack 9.8, but am still assuming that this segfault is
reproducable on any system when jack is started with '--playback'.
If others have no time or inclination to fix, i will gladly do so, but
am reluctant as i have little experience of jack coding or knowledge
of Snd.


Once again, thanks Kjetil for adding jack support, and regards to
all.
