no, thats completely possible. its been the design all along. as i
mentioned previously, all that is missing is something like:
jack_client_open_inprocess (...)
its simple to write. i might even start it tonight.
the existing ALSA "driver" for example, is nothing more than an I-P
client that has also been assigned the role of "driver".

completely.

the main issue: kernel scheduling latency
the side issue: kernel scheduling logic (probably fixed in 2.5/2.6)
