This is not 'a third method'. The zita-a2j and zita-j2a
apps are replacements for the alsa-in and alsa-out clients
that come with jack. They can be used in the same way as
those, e.g. together with the ALSA loop device. The main
difference is that they do not degrade audio quality.
Note that you only need the ALSA loop device when the
app you want to connect is one of those crippled ones
that only accept 'soundcards' as an ALSA device. If not
all you need to connect an ALSA app to Jack is ALSA's
jack plugin.
the problem is, as far as i can tell, the alsa_in and alsa_out devices
are not persistent. i.e. as soon as audio stops, the connection to
jack breaks. so, the user needs to re-start the audio, then re-connect
in patchage/whatever. but i might be wrong
