David, I don't know that much about the internals of JACK but I do know this - all serious Linux sound apps either use or are preparing to use JACK. I've gotten to the point where I look for that in an application. If it's not JACK enabled I just move on to something else. Jan On Tue,

Ah! I do exist! :) Perhaps a better description of what I'm trying to do is in order. I don't know if anyone here is familiar with JMF (java media framework), but I would like to create an ALSA capture plugin on Linux very similar to the "direct sound" one that's available on the Windows platform.
