well... you could use www.sf.net/projects/netjack to run a synced jackd as root. and let
hearnet connect to that jackd.

note, that i did not test running 2 jackds at once but i think this
should work for different users.

as netjack works very good on a 100Mbps net it should work perfect over
the loopback. building netjack is not straight forward yet (ie
buildsystem does not build the jack_driver, because a jack_driver needs
some headers which are not installed by jack. so you should build the
driver inside you jack builddir and peek how a driver is built.

priority of fixing this is rather low currently. 
i will implement double package send and other workarounds for package
loss first. 

oh... and this should be a really strange feedback if hearnet transforms
the audiopackets into audio which is transported through the
audiopackets....
