Wow, it allready exist. Hey, wine-people, this driver is really needed for real-time audio-work, and for programs as sound-editors, multitrackers and interactive dsp programs as pd, jmax, and a lot of others. Artsd (f.ex) is not an alternative in its current form, and probably never will be either. Its something else. I guess Paul or some other competant person can explain a bit more why jack is so important.
don't hold your breath for this one: - jack support is used for audio playback (to jack is seen just as an output device) - code is new, not reviewed, and not yet committed to wine - as of today it can only be used for sound output (not sound recording) (from a windows driver point of view) - port routing will not be easily solved. for example, it will be hard to match dynamic aspect of JACK port creation/deletion (unless we break away from windows API) - being able to run a VST plugin is one thing, providing all the relevant glue for all the streams might a bit more difficult - last, but not least, performance (and especially low latency) will be difficult to provide from a wine point of view (with today infrastructure)
A+
