1. I didnt' use much time on this. It was made most to test my new libaipc
library. Its not at all complete either.



2. It was a provocation. :)

For two years (or somethings), people have complained about the bad
performance of the jack system. And I don't think it has been solved. I
dont know about alsa; and doesn't understand the driver-code, so it was
easier for me just to reimplement jack.

k_jack performs okey. You dont have to run things with realtime priority.



3. As I wrote in the README file. Its very simple when you can controle
everything from PD. You could do this with the current implementation of
jack, if you could make jack run without a driver. A dummy-driver is
needed.
