JACK isn't really suited for doing modular type things - there is a
fixed number of ports you can use (which is rather low by default) and
doing a context switch for every ugen will get rather expensive. Same
goes for the ALSA sequencer or any IPC-based routing system. JACK is
great for connecting a couple of clients, but building a large modular
synth patch from JACK clients isn't the best way.
