What Jack does not do, is handle A/52 encoded (AC-3 or Dolby/DTS) material on input; it is just a sound server that deal with separated channels of audio streams. And it has the capability to connect simultaneously and synchronously any output stream on any input, and any input to any output stream, that on any hardware and software audio component, and with a constant latency. This make JACK an outstanding tool for audio production and creation. The ac3jack tool can be used for encoding multiple separated audio channels to AC-3 streams.
