I am looking forward to testing Fons' n2jbridge jack backend.
But do you have anything to connect it to ?
Yes. Though what I have right now would not make it make sense. What I

A backend using the njbridge format makes sense only when
connected to some hardware audio interface (analog or digital),
Yup, that is why. Network transport is best with what you already have.
The only reason for a jack back end of this sort is to use ethernet as an
audio card/interface.
or to emulate netjack.
The latter means a master/slave relationship, which is exactly
what the whole njbridge design wants to avoid (two reasons for
that being that 1. it doesn't scale and 2. it's fragile (if the
master has a problem the slaves will fail as well).
But in the case where the master is the only audio IF for a DAW it starts
to make sense again.
All the rest of the logic would stay in place, to ensure
a defined latency regardless of how the periods on backend
and transmitter are aligned (they could even be different).
Yes I could see that.
