That's exactly what pure:dyne was designed for. I've used e.g. it in

Pure-Data-workshops to quickly give attendants a working system with

Pd, jack and all that on their laptops.

It's not problematic, unless you're dealing with ppc-machines or so,

newer macbooks also can be tricky. Other than that, just get a USB

soundbox that's supported by ALSA, check the USB device list for that:

An example setup could be pure:dyne on a 2 or 4 gig USB stick with the

Behringer U-Control USB device. Fits in every pocket, cost is less

than 50 Euro/Dollar.
