jack (realtime low-latency sound server)

JACK is a system for handling real-time, low latency audio and MIDI.

It can connect a number of different applications to an audio device,

as well as allowing them to share audio between themselves.

Its clients can run in their own processes (ie. as normal apps), or

within the JACK server (ie. as a "quot;plugin"quot;). JACK also has support

for distributing audio processing across a network, both fast &

reliable LANs as well as slower, less reliable WANs.
