Jack itself is ready for prime time, it is all the documentation for
Jack (or lack there of) which is not ready for prime time. This is
unfortunately common for free open source projects. Seems the
programmers can't find the time to spend to write some documentation,
which isn't always a bad thing as it would cut into there time spent
developing. We all can help by posting our experiences getting Jack
working (myself included).
I have had Jack working on Rivendell and Darkice for quite some time
now. It only crashed once when I ran the machine out of physical memory
by accidentally trying to load a huge tiff file on the workstation.
Darkice has also worked perfectly for me, but last I checked the 32-bit
version that is compiled on the Tryphon repository still lacks Jack
support (as well as support for all other optional features), so I
instead grabbed a compatible version from Ubuntu to use on my one Debian
system that is running on a 32-bit (old Pentium-4) processor.
So things I did was to install the optional "real time" kernel on my
Debian system, then carefully adjusted all the Frames/Period and
Periods/buffer to be stable with my hardware. I had to dial in more
latency when using our Presounus USB sound device as composed to a Non
USB device. While messing around with Jack on a Raspberry Pi, I had to
dial in a lot of latency to get it get things to work at all.
Since I don't mess around with CentOS or any other OS based on Redhat
repositories (it seams I keep breaking them when I add other
repositories to try to install extra software not in the base Redhat
ones) much, I won't be much help with why you can't get Jack to run on it.

I wish there were a comprehensive guide to getting Rivendell to work with
JACK. I am finding JACK very frustrating and an immense time sink.
So far, I have managed to get it to work with Rivendell on Debian 7, but
not Centos 6, where JACK cannot be persuaded to start.
On Debian 8, JACK will start, but nothing can connect to it. Liquidsoap
tells me "strange error flushing buffer".
Methinks JACK is not ready for prime time.
