Jeff:
To the contrary - the CoreAudio team, and you in particular, have
been extremely helpful when we (Stephane) have posed questions, and
we greatly appreciate it.
I think what Stephane was trying to say though was that in order to
get even better integration between Jack and CoreAudio, that an even
deeper understanding of CoreAudio internals and AudioMIDI Setup is
necessary for us. Stephane and I will try to draft a technical
proposal of sorts for your (and Apple's) consideration in the next
couple of days.
We are obviously biased, but our sense in the Audio community is that
there is a strong desire to have Jack (or Jack-like) functionality
embedded at the OS-level; take for example this thread on Create
Digital Music:
http://createdigitalmusic.com/2006/12/06/vista-audio-improvement-details-for-consumers-at-least/#comments
Just as Apple has used open source foundations in Safari, we feel
that a Jack extension to CoreAudio makes a lot of sense...
Stephane or I will post again shortly.
Thanks,
Dan

I'm unclear. Have we been lax in replying to your questions? My
apologies if so, and I'm sure we'll try to do better.
I should have added that this doesn't mean that it's impossible. For
example, there are several tools out there that pose as a virtual
device to route the audio back out to user space where a program can
then send it to where ever it likes. The AudioReflectorDriver example
code in our SDK provides a simplistic attempt at this. There are also
more complex tools, like Jack for instance, that do routing and a
bunch of other cool things too.
And if Apple would support the open-source jack project (more
specifically the new multi-processor aware jackdmp version
http://www.grame.fr/~letz/jackdmp.html), even cooler things could
happen! ((-:
