JACK is a low-latency audio server, written for POSIX conformant operating systems such as GNU/Linux and Apple's OS X.

Jack audio connection kit can connect a number of different applications to an audio device, as well as allowing them to share audio between themselves. Its clients can run in their own processes (ie. as normal applications), or can they can run within the JACK server (ie. as a "plugin").

JACK was designed from the ground up for professional audio work, and its design focuses on two key areas: synchronous execution of all clients, and low latency operation.

Requirements:
FLTK
libsndfile

What's New in This Release:
Rewritten coreaudio driver
Switched to ALSA-1.0 API
Added functions jack_client_create_thread(), jack_get_max_delayed_usecs(), jack_reset_max_delayed_usecs(), jack_internal_client_handle(), jack_internal_client_load(), jack_get_internal_client_name(), jack_internal_client_unload(), jack_get_xrun_delayed_usecs(), jack_client_open(), and jack_get_client_name(). See documentation for details.
Removed functions jack_set_server_dir(), jack_create_thread()
Added header file
ALSA, OSS, and CoreAudio drivers now have -I/-O options for setting systemic latency.
Added client request type RecomputeTotalLatencies
Compiles and runs on MacOSX 10.4
Change the way threads get RT scheduling. it is now requested by the thread rather than assigned by the thread's parent. in cases where capabilities are used, the child is also given capabilities so that it can release + re-acquire RT scheduling as needed.
Prevent watchdog from killing anything is JACK is freewheeling.
And of course tons of bug fixes.
