it might save you some hassles if you changed the
intro to
jack's web
pages, which currently read:
JACK is a low-latency audio server, written primarily for the
GNU/Linux operating system. It can connect a number of different
applications to an audio device, as well as allowing
them to share
audio between themselves.
that, by itself, sounds to the average user an awful lot
like a general
purpose audio server. Perhaps what you wrote in
the email
below, comparing
JACK to ASIO, would be more appropriate.
But the second paragraph of the intro basicly already mentions
the focus:
--cut--
JACK is different from other audio server efforts in that it has been
designed from the ground up to be suitable for professional
audio work.
This means that it focuses on two key areas: synchronous
execution of all
clients, and low latency operation.
--cut--
'suitable' does not mean 'exclusively suitable'. and 'focus'
does not
(usually) mean 'completely ignore anything else'. all in all if it can
handle tough tasks I would expect it to handle easy tasks as well (which I
think was the point of original post)
