Once you use something like the Jack Audio Connection Kit it's hard to understand why a user-controllable system-wide audio graph isn't just the default thing baked into the kernel API. I have full control over all apps. It involved some extra effort creating a fake ALSA device that sends/receives from JACK, but once it's in place, all audio connections become points you can easily make and break in the graph.
