As Robin explained, the "dummy" backend is in *debug* builds on the nightly
site. We do not include it in normal releases.

How about using a GNU/Linux distribution that
does not ship a 2 1/2
year old versions of jackd?
No way. I do not want to install a new OS anytime soon. This LM 17
works fine and is supported until 2019 security-wise. (Hopefully no
malware will come through the updates since LM was hacked seriously
recently.)
No drawbacks. Except you'll have to stop
jackd if you want to use the
same device as jackd is using.
There's also a "None (Dummy)" audio
system which does not need an
actual device, but this only available if Ardour was configured
with
./waf configure --with-backends=jack,alsa,dummy
(Ardour4 debug builds from http://nightly.ardour.org/ have this
enabled).
Thanks for the details. Can this dummy option be used for exports and
will it be in the next Ardour release ?
