Yeah, that's a neat idea.
I'm still pining over how to do this properly, and also waiting for the jack 
authors to decide the 'official' way to do it.
I think they are working on a way for jackd to 'tell' client apps where the 
temp directory is.  This would be the best solution, but it may be tricky for 
them to do.
Luckily we have several months till next release.  :-)
