JACK Audio Connection Kit (or JACK) is a professional sound server API and 
pair of daemon implementations to provide real-time, low-latency connections 
for both audio and MIDI data between applications.

Have you ever wanted to take the audio output of one piece of software
and send it to another? How about taking the output of that same program
and send it to two others, then record the result in the first program?
Or maybe you're a [programmer] who writes real-time audio
and music [applications] and who is looking for a cross-platform API
that enables not only device sharing but also inter-application audio routing,
and is incredibly easy to learn and use?
If so, JACK may be what you've been looking for.
