And what's wrong with pyjack? For me it works fine, apart from some minor bug

What about the latency? Do you think sure it's safe to execute arbitrary pyhton

Your TestClient.mix method manipulates arrays, thus it may eventually call
malloc, which is explicitly discouraged in jack api doculentation.
