The typical use case is only one sound played at the same time. In that
case the sound server needs to:
- not do mixing
- use as few interrupts as possible, i.e. having the biggest acceptable
latency possible. Otherwise the sound hardware keeps waking up the
processor to fill a tiny buffer again and again.
I don't know for the first, but I'm pretty sure JACK isn't designed to
do the last.
