I think I understand at least the basics of how Jack works, and I can see how it would work well in general. Unfortunately, I am working on an embedded Blackfin system running uClinux and I don't find any evidence that Jack has been ported to that platform. Also, all of the (simple command-line) utilities that I hoped to use like aplay/record, mp3play, etc. are set up for ALSA; I suppose there might be Jack equivalents or a way of using an adapter of some sort. That sounds rather involved, and defeats at least some of the advantages of native Jack apps. Would it be a reasonable design to make small executables to do jobs similar to dmix/dsnoop/dshare that do their I/O on named pipes (fifos), then run aplay/arecord... on those pipes?
