There is still controversy if Jack is a fitting solution for
"consumer" audio, i.e. mixing system sounds and mp3-files. Jack is
targeted at low latency, sample synchronous, high bandwith audio. dmix
OTOH is actually what pure "consumers" want: dynamic mixing of
multiple streams.
And then there already is Jack integration inside ALSA. See the jack
plugin.
