Hi David,
I don't have time to seriously test audio software now. However, for
some time now, I'm already using jack2 build from git.
[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ grep jack2 /var/log/pacman.log | grep 1.9.10.r | grep upgrade

c44a220 is still the latest commit and f3a6b3e is "1.9.11-RC1
release" [1]. I didn't use all builds to make music, but IIRC all
passed at least short usage, so unless you didn't do something very
unusual your 1.9.11_RC1-3 [2] should do the job.
There was an issue with building jackdbus 288df20 [3], which isn't
related to this thread ;).
That's the PKGBUILD I used:
