Well, the trouble is not with JACK as such -- it's the same on any
platform -- it's just that the JACK audio driver in Rosegarden was the
first and only audio driver written at the time, and it's entwined
with the ALSA driver (that preceded it as the first and only MIDI
driver) in rather unholy ways.

I maintain Sonic Visualiser (http://sonicvisualiser.org) for Linux,
OS/X and Windows, with both audio and MIDI support (though with far
more limited MIDI requirements than Rosegarden). That has all sorts of
possible audio and MIDI driver combinations, including JACK on Linux
or OS/X, or PortAudio anywhere -- but it's a simpler architecture with
less historical baggage than Rosegarden, and I've just never found the
time to do any comparable factoring in RG (and realistically I
probably never will).
