as i see you are using the binary dmg version.
- make an aggregate device in audio midi setup, otherwise jack
does not work.
- use the aggregate device for input and output. it is described in the 
jackpilot manual
- when you start jackpilot use a bigger buffer size than the default, 
like 1024
- then use (start-audio "system:capture_1" 1024 44100) in fluxus

it's not supposed to happen, i think something is wrong with your setup.
