no alternatives.
JFTR, I've seen ardour running on an Audinate Dante PCIe card last
summer at musikmesse. They have made a proprietary Linux driver to drive
their WFS systems. Unfortunately, I forgot the company's name, all I know
is it wasn't IOSONO.
Though proprietary drivers are clearly nothing one should wish for, it
seems there's at least something going on in network-driven audio.
Intel has recently released an Open-AVB stack, and we'll discuss
jackd integration any time soon.

Last not least, the RAVENNA camp has stuff ready that might benefit from
Intel's recent kernel changes. Florian Faber has (unreleased) RAVENNA-jackd
integration, and you can buy RAVENNA-enabled audio gear from
directout.eu.
