I don't know xwax, but since it currently has oss and alsa output I 
guess it is using a "blocking IO" model instead of the "callback" model 
of jack. Restructuring the logic from blocking to callbacks can be 
complicated. I you want to have a first result have a look at
http://bio2jack.sourceforge.net/ which should fill your gap.
