Maybe, but it wouldn't surprise me if there was more than one thing that 
needed fixing here.

E g, while debugging, I noticed that if jackd2 first successfully 
grabbed Audio0 (the dbus name) and then failed on grabbing hw:0 (the 
alsa device), it seemed like it didn't properly release Audio0 again. 
There might be more of those things lurking.
