Introducing a network layer adds more latency than creating a jack client
with buffer that talks to two jackd servers.

I believe jackd2 can use more than one core for non-dependant strings of
clients. That is, a jack aware application could split two jack strings by
calling itself two clients and buffering audio between them. However, the
purpose of jackd is to provide known latency. Adding workarounds to make
use of more cores destroys that.
