Does jack require X? Even so, an X app and the X server need not reside
on the same computer. And it is the X server that competes with
Asterisk, not the X app.

Anyway, jack is not the only sound server. gstreamer provides similar
functionality. esound probably perfoms not as well but may have better
networking support in it?
