.. which I have done now:

a) One program 'capture' opens two devices ("hw:0,0,0" and "hw:0,0,1")
and merges them into a single stereo image which is piped out on stdout.

b) another program 'playback' opens a third device ("hw:0,0") for output
and reads a stereo image from the pipe on stdin

used as: ./capture|./playback 
.. and works without flaws


What does NOT work - and what might be a hint to what is wrong - is
starting jackd as either playback- or capture only (with -P or -C). Only
the duplex mode -D is running stable.

I don't get this? :-/
