Or use zita-alsa-pcmi which is more or less the equivalent
of Jack's ALSA backend in an easy-to-use C++ class (original
versions were actually based on the Jack code). All you need
to add then is a RT-thread that takes the place of the one
normally created by Jack. Use by jaaa, japa, aeolus, zita-
ajbridge, and others.
