mpd with JACK (alsa-jack plugin)

[Vininim]

Anyone had any lucky in using mpd with alsa-jack plug pcm devices? I have it correctly setup in the sense that I can use alsaplayer with transparent alsa access(through jack plug) but can't do it with xmms or mpd. In the case of xmms, I can use the jack output plugin, but I can't use transparent alsa with the jack pcm device(not even with mlock off)).
As I heard(in #jack@freenode), alsa-jack plugin is not being worked since apparently no one find professional use for it, but using jack as transparent alsa software mixer would be excellent and a proof of concept.
(by the way, I know about dmix plugin and other sound daemons, but the idea of using jack with TRANSPARENT alsa plug sounded like a dream for me( separated channels equalizer, compression plugins , and many other stuff))

yeah that would be rather cool. i want to leave jack running all the time i use my diskless box as a DAW/mythtv/whatever box.

keep me posted. i used mpd for a bit but now i just use myth.

is there something similar for oss?
