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.

Famous quotes containing the words jack and/or connection:
“Just we two
Darby and Joan, who used to be Jack and Jill.”
—Oscar Hammerstein II (1895–1960)
“Much is made of the accelerating brutality of young people’s crimes, but rarely does our concern for dangerous children translate into concern for children in danger. We fail to make the connection between the use of force on children themselves, and violent antisocial behavior, or the connection between watching father batter mother and the child deducing a link between violence and masculinity.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
