JACK's "ASIO" mode had *absolutely nothing* to do with ASIO except that
it modelled certain behaviour of ASIO (mostly in terms of absolute
enforcement of xrun detection, rather than leaving it till after clients
finished executing). it was removed because it was found to be less than
useful, and confused people. it has zero impact on what that patch for
wine is doing.
