Please STOP all this discussion of coupling DBUS to JACK. JACK is a
cross-platform tool. It is currently dependent on nothing but ANSI C and
POSIX, though on OS X and Windows it does have to work aroudn the fact
that those platforms' POSIX support isn't 100% usable for the same
purposes as on Linux. That isn't go to change. 

By all means talk about adding things to the JACK API that make things
possible, but not in the context of DBUS, or CoreAudio, or ASIO or
whatever platform-specific goat floats your boat.
