Well, I've looked a bit at the ALSA JACK pcm_plugin and it seems to be the
brilliant solution for the 'aRts vs JACK' problem. It allows
non-realtime clients to use JACK as a backend. This is far better and
more complex solution than JACK output plugin for aRts or CLS layer,
because it covers OSS apps and ALSA apps as well.
