I've had a decent run with mumble, and use it regularly with jack, but that's with the alsa-jack plugin, and a .asoundrc setup to use that plugin. I've just read the comments from the devs, and i think you're battling uphill with this one, particularly as slicer seems to be quite happy with pulseaudio as his Linux default (and this sounds just like skype's justification for not adding a 64bit option, imho). I think he's missed the point about JACK, but he's the dev, and will decide what he wants to do, even if others think he may be missing a valuable opportunity. Good luck with this, and i hope you're ultimately successful. Podcasting isn't going away, and the easier Slicer and his other team members make the use of mumble, the better the quality of podcast, and the easier and quicker process of production, for a wider range of users, both amateur and professional. If he's so inclined, perhaps you might mention the inevitable increase in street cred he and the mumble team will get in the podcast and wider community. (If this is desirable for him, of course) Imho, mumble could wipe the floor with skype (it does here already for the sound quality), but it does need jack support as a valuable added option to expand mumble's reach further.
