i did some tests with the wandboard and an external USB soundcard, and i
*never* managed to get jackd running stable for "longer" (the project
required that audio would work for days and weeks without restart).
so i ended up using a complicated (compared to jack) plugin system based
on ALSA.
it turned out that the timing on the wandboard is much too imprecise for
jack (and the connected cheapo USB-soundcard did not help)

obviously this is not the problem you are facing here (as i did get full
duplex sound), but maybe this info is of some other use...
