Thanks for the suggestions so far!
Has anyone on the list tried more than one of Airtime, IDJC and Rivendell

(plus any of the other solutions) enough to make a good comparison?
I can't see any mention of JACK support on the Airtime site and we may need

this to get Skype working but the other two do claim JACK support. I get

the impression Airtime has the most features otherwise but I expect they'll

gladly trade stability and ease of use/ maintenance over a flashy set of

features.
