Of course not :) GLAME is using floats everywhere, and I'm certainly
supposing to restrict data type of audio samples to float.

Yes, so to have people adapt the new API quickly, I suppose to not
support this feature at the beginning, but to design the API with
that future extension in mind.

I never looked into JACK, I just know LAAGA and Arts and what Richard
posted about LAMEDA. JACK is the one used within Ardour?
