I read:

It would have to open a separate thread to respond to the jack calls, and maintain FIFOs to synchronize between them.
which brings me to another question, what do people on the list think about multithreaded externals and shouldn't we agree now on how to implement them. AFAICT from my somewhat limited pthread knowledge each and every extern author using threads should at least prefix mutex/conditional names with externalname_ otherwise we might well deadlock ourselves sooner than later .. any other thoughts/recommendations on this ?
(I could use threading in some of my [planned] externs, but won't jump in before the issue is somewhat clear, I know miller doesn't exactly like threads and I'm somewhat reluctant to release code that might break someone elses setup ...)
