IIRC there was an issue with ardour's freewheeling export and jack2. I
don't remember exactly which commit fixed the issue.

I don't know what kuind of issue I've got. Ardour crashed, when testing
my new USB audio interface, so I continued testing with Qtractor. I've
got no time to check why Ardour crashed.

No, it is jack2 from git, but not the original AUR package, see my
comment https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/jack2-git/ .
