This will work if the powers that be agree to allow input -> input
connections. If not, there is another way. In a hardware mixer,
many-to-one connections always require a bus, which is nothing more than
a unity gain summing node. Since jack performs unity gain summing for a
many-to-one connection, then the buffer that the sum is written to could
be redefined as a bus. Then any client could read from the output port
of this bus. I am not necessarily in favor of this, nor am I against
it. I don't know enough about coding to have an opinion either way.
What I do know is that this approach preserves the output -> input
semantics.
