Well, again, to answer my own question.... I ran some tests and it looks like the behavior is as it is described, you CAN queue segments after the jetplayer starts playing. The caveat is that queueing a segment takes time and if the existing segments finish before the one you are queuing is done queuing (think on the terms of several hundred milliseconds), then the jetplayer will NOT play the new segments or any subsequent segments being queued.
How do you get around this? Well, it looks like you need to queue your segments wisely. It appears that you are only allowed to have 3 segments queued at a time. If these happen to be very short segments, then odds are any segments you queue up after these start will not work. You will not be able to have a seamless stream. In order to have seamless playing of your segments, then, in my tests, you need to have at least a couple of beats as a buffer for the "dynamic" queueing to work. In my experience with JetPlayer, it seems like it is best suited to play one continuous segment of music and use triggers to turn on tracks of your Midi to add effects during certain segments of play. I hope this information helps some people out there who might stumble down the sparsely documented realm of JetPlayer.
