Hehe. Yeah, that's confusing - and the reason for my question.
Just before I wrote the posting, I tried to have xmms and
kaffeine (a xine based KDE video player) running at the same
time.
No problem, I thought, xmms has a jack output plugin (great!).
But kaffeine has no possibility to talk to jack.
Fortunately, arts can meanwhile use JACK as output, so I used
kaffeine playing through arts to JACK :) .
But this is certainly not the way a normal user will find out.

Hopefully. Great you enjoyed it!
