No, jack is intended for apps with much stricter performance requirements - low latency, sample synchronization, and realtime transport. These are pretty critical for pro audio work - recording, production, soundtracking, overdubs, etc. It's very doubtful it will ever work over conventional networks - timing is just too critical to jack. Now, a specially designed network with ADAT synchronization could work, but I doubt anyone would want to port X11 to such a transport... ::-) -- Ross Vandegrift [EMAIL PROTECTED] A Pope has a Water Cannon.
