Yeah, but signal processing dudes and audio-engineers will use jack as their 
audio-system and jaaa for the analyzer stuff. So they aren't the ones kde's 
soundsystem is for. At least not for their professional work, perhaps for 
mail-notification on the second pc...

At least they don't get arrested for illegal mp3's...

But I already have seen guys (audio-engineers, not dj's) with laptop and a 
professional usb of firewire interface and software for speaker-managament.So 
there is professional use for such things, but they most certainly will use 
jack (if they use linux).

Normal users won't distinguish it from linear ones, but users with more 
knowledge will not get disturbed. :-)

Mine supports jack_convolve with a latency of ~25msecs. :-P
