Do I understand above correctly so that in fact jackd2 1.9.5 cannot be 
trusted to support library API (and ABI) of 0.116.2 but only that of 
0.118.0?

Tell me if better that I ask upstream such questions.  For now I would 
prefer this list acting as proxy for my perhaps too silly[1] questions.

silly enough that others than busy upstream developers can answer. :-)
