[LAU] Jack aware audio player for ipod

Just starting to build my Linux audio studio, and having lots of fun so far. Installed Jack, qjackctl, ardour, rosegarden, and bought the Edirol FA-101, all working "out of the box". Pretty amazing. Now what I'd like is an iPod player that's Jack aware. When I plug my iPod into USB, Rythmbox understands the format and plays the media on it, but of course, it won't play into my FA-101 'cuz it appears to have no support for Jack. Anyone have a recommendation for an iPod player that's Jack aware for Ubuntu 8.04? Second question: Any recommendations for an initial set of plugins for the basics in Ardour, like Reverb, Chorus, etc. Many thanks, Chris -- Life is like Linux - it never stands still.
