Those are all useful features that I'd like to see too. In a version 1 I'd be happy with a JAM dsp chain that recieves input from Ardour:master[L,R]_playback. Why? In one word, granularity. If the bass guitar is to loud in a mix, switch windows to Ardour, make appropriate adjustments, return to JAM and resume mastering the stereo image. There's no need to affect the entire range of the mix when one instrument is a problem. I think of this as two issues, problem fixing and mastering.
