It does, but once the alsa is running, and jackd is running on top of alsa, you can use jacklaunch hack to open up a new full-duplex connection to jackd even with the apps that do not natively support jack's framework (regardless whether it is oss or alsa, I think -- I've tested it only with oss apps). This does cost you some latency, but is still generally lightyears ahead of artsd, esd and other such stuff. Hope this helps! Ico
