That's what I was thinking when this running without server issue came 
up, actually. Then I thought it would compromize the "run with 
private RT thread" idea - but now I realize it may not have to.

The combined first app/server would be running it's own audio thread, 
and the jackd would effectively piggy-back on that thread, rather 
than having it's own. I don't think this would affect the performance 
of the app until some clients show up.

Then again, if you set the latency too low for out-of-process clients, 
you're screwed anyway, as you have to restart the audio I/O with 
different settings as soon as a client connects...
