I will have to experiment with this. (perhaps my only one instance was bad 
memory and rdairplay and not jack... hmmm)

In the particular instance I am intersted in here, I would want two different 
jackds running and two different instances of rotter, one to connect to each 
jack. I will have to see if rotter can deal with this and if not if I can 
patch it or get Nicholas intersted in making the change. (If needed.)
