If this got covered really early on please excuse my going over old ground. Has anyone considered trying to write an arts device driver that instead of talking to hardware talks to Jack? Why can't all of Alsa & Jack just look like hardware to arts? Arts apps could then use arts, and then arts itself got down to trying to send audio the arts 'driver' would just be talking to Jack. I am presuming that the 'ta da' issue would be easily addressed by something like this. It was reported some time ago that Wine has Jack support doing something like this I presume. I don't see why you couldn't run many sound servers doing something like this, but I'm sure there's some simple reason. (Or not...) Sorry for butting in so late... - Mark
