current versions of JACK use /dev/shm as the location for this, no

Thanks for the reply Paul. But what about other applications that use
/tmp? Could they benefit from a /tmp directory mounted on a tmpfs
filesystem?
programs that use the filesystem from a realtime audio thread are
incorrectly written.
a system that allows disk i/o to interfere with a realtime audio
thread is badly configured.
ergo, i would conclude that the only realtime audio programs that can
benefit from this sort of thing are either badly written or running on
a misconfigured system.
JACK itself isn't doing any file I/O - it just happens to use an
inter-process communication system that uses identifiers that are
related to the filesystem.
you should check the jack README... iirc it still talks about this /tmp
stuff.
