To quote the FAQ:
this isn't an issue any more, in that ALSA supports output via JACK itself. apps don't behave the way real JACK clients would, but the sound is heard. i don't know if capture support works. jack is not intended to be a general purpose solution though. although i believe that its callback API is a better choice, things like PortAudio offer that with or without JACK. jack's main offering is low latency, sample synchronous execution. i guess if it really worked for everybody, it would be great. chances are that it might be slightly closer to working than dmix, but i don't really know (especially the capture part). making connections is also difficult - it puts quite a burden on the user. --p ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.
