Hence, I am just wondering at this point whether
asoundrc jack is still in
the testing phase (some of the errors that apps reported trying to use jack
plug were due to inability to probe some info from the alsa driver which
implies possible incompleteness of the implementation or weird probing from
the app's side) and also whether anyone has had better luck than myself
using either of these with audacity, sweep, and other non-jackified, yet
important Linux audio apps via either of the aforementioned ways.
Pretty much anything that crams blocking IO into Jack will always be
dodgy. It might work a little bit sometimes maybe, if you're lucky.
Libjackasyn, bio2jack, and all that stuff are useful hacks sometimes,
but they're just that - useful hacks. They aren't, and will never be,
suitable for pro audio work.
Like you said, what needs to be done is to properly jackify these apps.
