Interesting.

Maybe I miss-read Jonathan's original post, but I was under the impression that
he was using three instances of Yoshimi that had their own MIDI streams, rather
than a general audioIn->audioOut. If these were ALSA MIDI then they would be
buffered at that level rather than the audio.

Does that make a difference? Would a single jack2 server be able to put the
audio on different cores?

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
