Jack clients have indeed been written to do just this, varying from simple 
network client/server audio transfer, to sending data to a icecast server 
for broadcasting.

For serious audio work, indeed. However I would recommend it's use for only 
that, as if one wishes to run Jack and it's clients in realtime, one needs 
their system and kernel finely tuned to give the best performance, which is 
not always an easy task.
