 Since jack does not support smp anyway, there is nothing to lose, but
 some given away CPU cycles, as that CPU will be bored and not be
 available for other tasks. 
Jack2 does support SMP so I wouldn't pin that to one CPU. If you use
Jack1 it might be an option but I wonder how much you would gain with
that. I really think it would be better to not try meddling with
scheduling IRQ requests yourself and have the system handle it. Just my
2¢ ;)
