Exactly.

So why, having studied the docs, am I completely stumped with jack?  It 
refuses to play.  I don't consider any solution based on a piece of software 
_I_ can't operate suitable for general use.

Yes, I'm big headed maybe: I frequently overlook the glaringly obvious.  I 
frequently need the glaringly obvious carefully pointed out.  However, jack 
isn't spotting it either so either (a) jack doesn't spot the glaringly 
obvious when it should or (b) it's not glaringly obvious.  In either case, I 
reckon this justifies the view it's not suitable for general use.

When I get time, I'll get over to the jack users list (if there is one).  
Right now, I don't _need_ jack working.
