+// JACK is a low-latency audio server, originally written for the
+// GNU/Linux operating system and now also ported to OS-X. It can
+// connect a number of different applications to an audio device, as
+// well as allowing them to share audio between themselves.
+//
+// When using JACK with RtAudio, "devices" refer to JACK clients that
+// have ports connected to the server.  The JACK server is typically
+// started in a terminal as follows:
+//
+// .jackd -d alsa -d hw:0
+//
+// or through an interface program such as qjackctl.  Many of the
+// parameters normally set for a stream are fixed by the JACK server
+// and can be specified when the JACK server is started.  In
+// particular,
+//
+// .jackd -d alsa -d hw:0 -r 44100 -p 512 -n 4
+//
+// specifies a sample rate of 44100 Hz, a buffer size of 512 sample
+// frames, and number of buffers = 4.  Once the server is running, it
+// is not possible to override these values.  If the values are not
+// specified in the command-line, the JACK server uses default values.
+//
+// The JACK server does not have to be running when an instance of
+// RtApiJack is created, though the function getDeviceCount() will
+// report 0 devices found until JACK has been started.  When no
+// devices are available (i.e., the JACK server is not running), a
+// stream cannot be opened.
