No way.  I do not want to install a new OS anytime soon.  This LM 17
works fine and is supported until 2019 security-wise.  (Hopefully no
malware will come through the updates since LM was hacked seriously
recently.)

Except ... it doesn't work fine, because it has a 2-1/2 year old version of JACK :)

Thanks for the details.  Can this dummy option be used for exports and
will it be in the next Ardour release ?

As Robin explained, the "dummy" backend is in *debug* builds on the nightly site. We do not include it in normal releases.
