I have mine at /mnt/ramfs, with jack thusly configured. I read somewhere

Does ramfs create a preallocated fixed size ramdisk?
If so, this will reduce your available memory and thus may increase the
swap partition usage. Using tmpfs lets the system decide dynamically the
balance of disk usage between tempfs and swap, which may give better
results.
