    Bad idea - this doesn't work well.

    All of the above is right on the money.  Another solution (which I
had to use last weekend due to too many tracks and too many plugins) is
to export the mixed song to a wav file then use 

alsaplayer -o jack SONG.wav

run the output of alsaplayer into JAMIn, then open a new session in
Ardour with a single stereo track to record the mastered output from
JAMin.
