Pretty much anything that crams blocking IO into Jack will always be
dodgy.  It might work a little bit sometimes maybe, if you're lucky.

Libjackasyn, bio2jack, and all that stuff are useful hacks sometimes,
but they're just that - useful hacks.  They aren't, and will never be,
suitable for pro audio work.

Like you said, what needs to be done is to properly jackify these apps.
