As a user, let me give you an entirely different viewpoint. I love Jack,
and see no alternative, for this:
I can have different applications send audio output to different devices.
Almost all applications want to send audio to the default audio device.
(Which makes sense, right?). So, with Jack, and no programs being
jack-aware other than QJackCtl, I can tell all these different programs
which device to use.
If you can name any alternative to this, please do. I am on a Mac.
CoreAudio can do all that. If you happen to be using applications
naive/silly/stupid enough to not offer device options, then sure, JACK can
help.
In addition, if you're on a Mac running OS X, you're almost certainly using
JackOSX which means that the future/condition of JACK1 is of little
consequence to you.
