Thanks for the question.

Jack has network audio working well - this is a big bonus, as on these limited systems you can't do too much audio processing as they have limited resources and power.
Jack also uses LPC based compression over the network - which is lossless. That is normally a minimum of 2 times compression.

Can you tell me how you would approach this ? I understand that by getting rid of Jack, you would free up a large amount of already limited memory on these devices ... but how would you do network audio in a standard fashion ?

I can run jackd1 on this embedded system with very limited resources.

I'm interested in why you're choosing JACK instead of "just" using the native (I'll presume ALSA) API for your audio backend? Not that I'm opposed to JACK - its a wonderful way of connecting audio applications in innovative and professional ways - but that doesn't mean its the best fit for every use case.
