You got it.
Not in anything like its current shared memory implementation.
JACK does
(recently and still only in CVS) support running
multiple concurrent servers. Each runs as a single user
and connects to a single card. So, multiple users could
each have their own card, or one user could use several
devices.
But I could not start two sessions for two different users and
both having sound support on the same card? OK, thanks, I
understood. One-at-a-time
sequential use of a single card by multiple
users works better now. There were formerly a number of
problems with it.
Perhaps, some day, jack will be able to run as root and allow
different users with priviledges to do so to make connections
to it :) . AFAIR I have heard the users always work as root. I
really do
not want to support this design.
Neither do I. :-)
JACK maintenance is hard enough without also attempting to be a
"trusted program" (i.e. inside the system security perimeter).
