Well, it looks like my current problem is not JACK at all but liquidsoap.
liquidsoap doesn't appear to like Debian 8, but darkice does.
"strange errors" and segmentation faults don't happen with darkice, and
I'm able to get Rivendell to feed darkice via JACK, and to generate a
stream with programming on it.
Next, I need to see what I can do for audio processing.

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.
