The -net backend for jack effectively says that the remote computer is my
audio device. The known ways around this is with alsa-in or zita-a2j which
adjust the sample rate as well. There has been talk of making zita-a2j
able to not resample, but I do not know if that has happened. The zita
solution has much lower CPU use than alsa-in and better quality too.
However, if you are using anything that resamples, I would suggest using
the normal backend on both machines and running zita-j2n/zita-n2j instead
as it builds easily and runs well on ubuntu.

qmidinet comes with UbuntuStudio and there is windows equivalent
available.

There are some CLI commands jack_net_master jack_net_slave
jack_netsource... I have not gotten any of those to work.
Run jackdbus (the default on Studio) either from qjackctl or using
jack_control from a terminal and then run jack_load netmanager on one
machine and start the other jackd/jackdbus with the -net backend. Midi
lines can be set up.
As an aside, why would you not just run audio via spidif? or are there
more than two channels to deal with?
