I am *very* sorry that you went to all this work.  

Not only is its function mostly duplicated in the PortAudio driver,
but the entire JACK driver interface has also undergone *major*
changes since 0.80.0.  We are about to release JACK 0.90.0 with these
new interfaces.  No one realized that anyone outside jackit-devel was
working on drivers, or we would have warned you.  (There *is* a
warning in the README.developers.)

The PortAudio driver has been used for the MacOSX port of JACK for
quite a while.  But, it is quite immature running on Linux with OSS.
There may be bugs or missing features that will need to be fixed.
But, I would much prefer to do that than to take on the extra
maintenance load for yet another driver (we already have three).

Would you mind terribly redirecting some of this fine work in the
direction of testing and fixing problems with the PortAudio driver,
instead?
