I'm sorry, I guess you are right here, but anyway, sometimes guesses 
could shove in the right direction. This is how brainstorming works, not 
every thought is useful.

Sorry, but I'm referring to


    "OS X

JACK1:

    * *Source (jackaudio.org)*: JACK 0.118.0
      <http://jackaudio.org/downloads/jack-audio-connection-kit-0.118.0.tar.gz>
      source tarball.

JACK2:

    * *Binaries*: Mixed 64/32 bit, v0.83 of JackOSX (compatible with
      current JACK API to 0.116.2) for Snow Leopard
      <http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jackosx/JackOSX.0.83_64-32bits.pkg.zip?download>

    * *Binaries*: Legacy 32 bit, v0.83 of JackOSX (compatible with
      current JACK API to 0.116.2) for systems older than Snow Leopard
      <http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jackosx/JackOSX.0.83_32bits.pkg.zip?download>

    * *Source*: JACK 1.9.4
      <http://www.grame.fr/%7Eletz/jack-1.9.4.tar.bz2> source tarball."
