Pipewire’s got fantastic JACK support. You can even run standard JACK control GUI’s like Carla on top of it and expect them to work just like they would on regular JACK
I do still have some problems with freewheeling. Ardour always crashes on exports when using the Jack interface, but everything works over the Pulseaudio interface. It might be an Ardour thing, but it doesn’t occur when actually running Jack. So something is actually different with Pipewire.
I haven’t tested JACK specifically but considering that both OSS and ALSA were plug-and-play on Pipewire for me (barring a need to change a configuration file due to my sound card having an actual hardware bug), I wouldn’t be surprised that Pipewire also is PnP for JACK.
Does it have jack support? I have a network sound server and I use both linux and windows clients. I solved windows clients with the jack plugin.

Can I authenticate clients with the cookie thing?
