No problems yet. I'm putting together a new system and had thought of
using Windows and Mac as guest VM systems under KVM for running things
that don't exist for Linux and/or don't work well with WINE. And I
wanted to see if anybody had tried routing the VM audio ins / outs to
JACK rather than directly to an audio sink.
Wanted to see if anybody had seriously tried this before I gave it a go.

If KVM already supports those api's then it can be used with jack via
several different methods. What is the problem that you are having exactly?

In that case I guess my best bet would probably be to petition KVM
development to add support for JACK. Currently I believe it supports
ALSA, OSS, SDL and PulseAudio.
Does anybody know if it is possible to run a
guest OS under KVM and
have the ins and outs of the virtual audio device presented to that
OS, interface with JACK on the host linux system?
I've done a little googling on this but couldn't find anything.
(mostly because "jack" is ambiguous, and "KVM" can mean a lot of
things)
unless the VM software that provides fake audio devices to the guest
OS knows about JACK internally or can be configured to use it, this is
not happening.
on the other hand, if the VM software can simply use the ALSA JACK
plugin, that could potentially work (lots and lots of latency though).
