I meant without major changes to any existing code, of course.

I tried it some years ago. IIRC there's a command to put JACK into "freewheeling mode", which makes it not RT anymore, so it's not dependent on real time clock. I did that, then suspended, then came back, and it Xran on me anyway and lost control of its bladder and died. If you have any better luck, go for it.

You're right though, anything is possible with unlimited time and money. If you or anyone else wants to dig into the codebase and try to get it to work, fantastic, that'd be very slick. I can't imagine it being a high priority for anyone right now though.
