Ben,
   I don't have a clue what's cauing this but I'm sure people are
going to need more info. What distro? What revision of Jack and
qjackctl? What modules are loaded? What sound card? Contents of
modules.conf or modprobe.conf. What kernel? As a user or as root or
both?

   Sorry for your troubles,
Mark
