Hi Peter,
I just tried it myself again after a while, and it seems to be still
broken in a couple of ways.

What should give you jack in/out ports is a new track: <ctrl> + <t>.

But judging from my brief test it's still unusable. I did manage to
record something but couldn't get it to play back. The ports of removed
tracks didn't disappear, etc.
