Bug 207725: audio/jack: jackd audio server doesn't work under 11.x
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=207725



--- Description ---
I have tried a variety of combinations of options trying to get jackd to start
under PCBSD 11 but nothing works, I only ever get `Bus error`.

My soundcard is working fine but even if I had NO soundcard installed, I should
still be able to at least start jackd with the dummy driver but even using the
dummy driver as root results in the dreaded `bus error` so I can only conclude
its bust.

Description    :
JACK is a low latency audio server, written for POSIX-conformant operating
systems.  It can connect a number of different applications to an audio
device, as well as allowing them to share audio between themselves.  Its
clients can run in their own processes (i.e. as normal applications), or
can they can run within the JACK server (i.e. as a "plugin").

JACK was designed from the ground up for professional audio work, and its
design focuses on two key areas: synchronous execution of all clients, and
low latency operation.
