Well, what I have is currently implemented as a LADSPA plug in so it already 
works with jack. 
Even though I'd like to see the theory outside the plug in framework I have 
other priorities at the moment. This particular thing is just one piece of a 
much bigger puzzle and whenever I see requests for the functionality the 
people asking get blown off. 
Truthfully? The main problem I have with the code now would get fixed faster 
if I flipped burgers for a week and bought a code monkey than if I read 
Stroustrup and neither of those tactics is an efficient use of my time.

If anybody is interested in looking at the template clash I can put a bounty 
on it.
