Got it.  So this patch fixes the FTBFS on alpha.

Now that it compiles, the semantics are the same on any architecture. 
Upstream seems slow to answer if the patch is good, even for the previous 
patch which was not.  So let's see if we can sanity-check this without 
upstream's help.

Can you test this patch on non-alpha, then?  If it doesn't hurt non-alpha, 
and it fixes the FTBFS, then we should ship it.  (It's not some massive 
patch whose meaning is hard to understand, and it's not a 
security-sensitive issue.)

As I understand it, the only reason we haven't put this into the 
jack-audio-connection-kit source package is that you want to be more 
confident of the effect on non-alpha machines.  Therefore, let's try to be 
more confident of that so we can unblock this for testing so we can get 
another couple of RC bugs closed that depend on this. (-:
