Introducing a network layer adds more latency than creating a jack client 
with buffer that talks to two jackd servers.

I believe jackd2 can use more than one core for non-dependant strings of 
clients. That is, a jack aware application could split two jack strings by 
calling itself two clients and buffering audio between them. However, the 
purpose of jackd is to provide known latency. Adding workarounds to make 
use of more cores destroys that.
