JACK Audio Connection Kit, which compacts to JACK, a recursive acronym, is a professional sound server daemon that provides real-time, low latency connections for both audio and MIDI data between applications that implement its API. It is under constant development by a community of open source developers led by Paul Davis (who won an Open Source Award in 2004 for this work) and has been a key piece of infrastructure and the de facto standard for professional audio software on Linux since its inception in 2002. The server is free software, licensed under the GNU GPL, while the library is licensed under the more permissive GNU LGPL.
