Does 14.08 still work for you? I just discovered and fixed a launch a
problem on older versions of OS X. The fix is a universal fix, however. In
other words, while I did not reproduce the problem elsewhere, in theory I
suppose it could have affected more systems. So, the fix is applied
independent of a OS test, and I have a new version 14.12.06 I am going to
post today.

As strange as this might seem, Shotcut does not presume that you want to
use JACK to output Shotcut's audio. If you want that, you need to establish
the connections yourself. In your melt command you did that.
JACK introduces all sorts of possible workflows. In my experience, it is
not common that someone is using JACK as a mundane audio server for mixing
desktop environment sounds and desktop apps. Rather, it seems more the
domain for people using audio apps. in that case, more often than not, it
is my belief that people do not care about the audio from the video editor.
Rather, they want the transport sync and care about the audio from their
audio editor. That is the workflow for which Shotcut is tuned. One can
manually still choose the option of using JACK for a simple audio server by
establishing a connection in their tool of choice. Also, I am not very
confident about my understanding of JACK workflows and ways to make them
easier to use in a video editor.
Surely, this can be improved, but I am not working on it now.

Yeah, I do not know. I just made a test and did not get those.

Sorry, but the messages are not speaking to me in a way that I can tell you
