I checked the jackit-API and wondered: "That's all?" It seems to be
straight-forward to implement.

It does. The API is well documented. The main goal of jackit is
professionell interconnection of soundhardware and multiple apps.

It does not support volume-changes, but for that question it is possible
to use a native mixer-application from the OS. Drawback is that the
application won't have a volume-slider, but professionell Audio-solutions
like Cubase don't have it as well. They change the volume by lowering the
peak of their data without interfearing the mixer of the soundcard.
