I didn't use jack, but this test setup:

- Debian unstable with Kernel 3.16
- pure ALSA (no jack, no pulseaudio etc.)
- several WAV files (mono, stereo, 44,1 kHz, 48 kHz)

Playback with an ancient Kernel from Debian 5 was ok, as well as

feed it with audio, because the AES3 output doesn't work. :-)
