you're free to continue doing what you want but
your
software will not
interoperate with other audio software, it will not
work without
card-specific hacks on various high-end audio
interfaces, and at some
point in the not very distant future, it will rely
on ALSA's OSS
emulation to run.
I believe fully in ALSA & JACK, but I code in what is
the best for the time being. At present, it's best to
code for both ALSA and OSS. is JACK fully functional
and ready for commercial programs? no. does JACK or
ALSA work in other unixen? no. If you have good coding
practices and use good, modular design, changing the
audio API is easy, so there's no need to look 3 years
down the road! If you designed your program well, it
will be ready when JACK is.
