I wrote this simple tool to be able to handle more than stero. The device I've 
got provides 7+1 channels playback and recording. I didn't check if jack 
supports that. Also there are some problems with audio delay and such when 
using jack. Probably not configured properly. And I needed to have control on 
sample rate drifting with regard to input and output. VirtuallOSS is using 
cuse4bsd to provide a non-resampled audio device.
