This will work if the powers that be agree to allow input -> input
connections.  If not, there is another way.  In a hardware mixer,
many-to-one connections always require a bus, which is nothing more than
a unity gain summing node.  Since jack performs unity gain summing for a
many-to-one connection, then the buffer that the sum is written to could
be redefined as a bus.  Then any client could read from the output port
of this bus.  I am not necessarily in favor of this, nor am I against
it.  I don't know enough about coding to have an opinion either way. 
What I do know is that this approach preserves the output -> input
semantics.
