] Jack is a low-latency audio server, written primarily for the
] GNU/Linux operating system. 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
] applications), or can they can run within the JACK server
] (ie. as a "plugin").
]
] JACK is different from other audio server efforts in that
] it has been designed from the ground up to be suitable
] for professional audio work. This means that it focuses
] on two key areas: synchronous execution of all clients,
] and low latency operation.
