Yeah, its possible, I started one, or thought about it extensivly. There are two cases you need to cover - if the host runs in jack you can just let it freewheel (with a 1 jack period buffer between them) and it will be fine, but if the host doesnt run in jack you have to block between having a full buffer and you doing your jack i/o, to keep everything in sync. Its kinda nasty either way, but it should work. I didn't get as far as a reliable way to determine if the host you're loaded into runs in jack. Thinking about it afresh, if you always have the buffer you can block in the case when you try to write to the buffer and its not been emptied. - Steve
