Well, given that Ardour, amsynth, alsaplayer, and freqtweak all use jack,
I'm pretty happy with how it is. It doesn't need to gain any more
applications to be considered a success as far as I'm concerned.

I'd say that AMS, SSM, pd and ecasound mark it as a success :)

Agreed. Different apps have different needs. Jack is probably serious overkill
for a lot of simple audio playback needs, but something like MAS [isn't that also
the name of MOTU's plugin API?] is obviously not serviceable for pro-quality
work. I agree though that a MAS backend for JACK might be a good thing.

I dont see how nayone could dismiss JACK in this respect, it does one thing
(lowlatency synced audio for music creation apps) and it does it very well.
