It's probably possible but why would you want to? JACK is easier.

mainly desireable for efficeiency. playing a dvd in m player, running
ices, and running jackd all at the same time uses nearly 80% of my poor
little PIII 750Mhz processor. not to mention the extera 186ms of delay
requred in jackd to avoid xruns.
JACK is not going to make much of a difference there - it probably
accounts for less than 1% of that CPU load.
It sounds like JACK may not be running in realtime mode.
