Same, neither myself nor len-ovenwerks can reproduce. I suppose it's
possible that the user installed the jack library by hand on the second
one as well, and might even be the same user.

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Users of studio-controls have been reporting bugs against studio-
  controls upstream on Github. For reference, see
  https://github.com/ovenwerks/studio-controls/issues/43

   * Per the bug report, the following error is being thrown:
  SystemError: ffi_prep_closure(): bad user_data (it seems that the
  version of the libffi library seen at runtime is different from the
  'ffi.h' file seen at compile-time)

   * Based on this error, and based on the build time of python-cffi and
  libffi in relation to cffi, it appears as though python-cffi and
  libffi were built on an older version of cffi. This explains the
  error.

  [Test Case]

   * A certain number of users have reported that simply running studio-
  controls causes this error.

  [Where problems could occur]

   * Since this is a no-change rebuild being requested, the possibility
  of breakage is slim to none. We are introducing no new changes here,
  but rather, resolving a regression that happened as a result of a
  newer version of cffi being introduced without a rebuild of
  dependencies.

   * If any problems happen, it would be a result of applications using
  python-cffi and expecting this bug with built-in workarounds. I can't
  imagine such a case exists, so this is just a stretch.
