[alsa-devel] alsa jack plugin

the alsa jack plugin has quite some problems: a) does not work correctly with mplayers alsa output. (and quite a few others) b) it includes the pid in its clientname. c) it requires port connections. d) jack client is deactivated when alsa stream is not active. e) no way to set the jack clientname

the master branch on git://hochstrom.endofinternet.org/alsa-plugins carries fixes for a, b and e.

c and d have their own branches.

i have seen a few problems with making the write end of the fd non-blocking. would it be possible to use eventfd(2) for this ?
