Just because they got there first does not mean they originated the 
concept. JACK is simply a way a sharing data between applications in 
realtime at low latency. That should be a prerequisite for any serious

Saying JACK is a clone of Rewire is like saying desktop Linux is a clone 
of windohs or mac.

It's buying into the hype.

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No! 
We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything 
I've ever done.
