Bug#935980: Found in bullseye version, maybe

I still experience this bug in bullseye, but I've done some testing using the same exact version of jackd as the network master and (so far) everything seems to be working, so this might only be an issue when using networked audio with mismatching jackd versions. I will continue to test over the
