I believe the way to do this is to have one remote jackd with a driver
that sends/receives data through UDP and one local jack client that
interacts with this remote server.
There is something like this already, I believe (haven't checked):

As a side note, the system I developed intends to do this over ladspa;
more on this on another message.

If I understood it correctly, yes it does, but their concept of a
"network" is somewhat weird: it allows you to send data from one
machine to the other for remote processing, but it uses the
digital audio ports of the soundcards of the machines to pass
the audio data around (together with other data). Therefore, it
only works with audio cards with digital I/O and word clock.
See ya,
Nelson
