While technically I'm sure you're correct, I'd add a further caveat

that puts me on the side of Dave and Jörn. The specific and existing

applications and inter-application communication that JACK has

permitted is not easily replicable with any other given existing

modular system, and there are plenty of modular systems available from

PD to Max/MSP to audiomulch to bidule to Reason to ... you get the

point. Given that the solution that I enjoy using the most is JACK on

Linux with all of the process level folly that it entails, even though

it needn't have to be that way given the plethora of non-process level

alternatives, surely this must say something good about the system as

a whole (or admittedly, bad about me)?
