I have successfully done this using other software (VB-Cable), but I am curious to know if I can use Jack for the same thing. I still do not understand the model that Jack is based on, despite everything I've read. I've never managed to get a "jackrouter" device to appear in Windows sound manager. These are the devices jackd sees on my machine: jackdmp 1.9.11 Copyright 2001-2005 Paul Davis and others.
