Probably true, but it's a weak argument IMHO. It would just
take a couple of ifs to get this right.

A real problem are the 'portable, cross-platform' audio APIs
and tools that usually fail to understand the rather special
nature of JACK, or have been designed in such a way that they
can't handle it.
