Takashi, thanks for your explanation. The position_fix=0/jackd problem 
occurs with bigger period sizes too, -p[16..1024] -n2. But: With 
position_fix=0 and -p[16..512] _-n3_ jackd is fine.

Not that I'd understand why but I'm happy there is a workaround. If 
someone knows the how and why of this workaround I'd much appreciate 
to learn it.

Like I said, the jack-devel thread was about 2 specific devices and I 
promise we won't make a big fuss about it :)
