not started. what with ardour and now work to get the hammerfall DSP
driver working ....

true, but keep in mind that many portaudio calls under JACK become
no-ops. a JACK client cannot control the sample rate, the data format,
the channel count, the blocksize or many other things. consequently,
its easy to overestimate the "portability" - your application many be
expecting these things to work, and they won't.
but in any case, PD is a bad example: we already have a patch to make
PD JACK-aware! :)
