Back in the day the Portaudio customizations were introduced to allow the MinGW Windows builds to work. They are a collection of small patches spread over various Portaudio forks made for that purpose. Since SCWin is VS only now (for which the SC-build always worked fine with vanilla Portaudio) it sounds reasonable to switch back to vanilla... at least to give it a try to see if it makes any difference in the Jack question. But mind you that in the past it was the MinGW-build that actually worked with Jack, while the 64-bit VS-build had that problem.
