+
+zita-a2j - use ALSA capture device as a JACK client, with resampling
+
+zita-j2a - use ALSA playback device as a JACK client, with resampling
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+zita-a2j I<options>
+
+zita-j2a I<options>
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+zita-ajbridge provides two applications, zita-a2j and zita-j2a. They
+allow using an ALSA device as a Jack client, to provide additional
+capture (a2j) or playback (j2a) channels. Functionally these are
+equivalent to the alsa_in and alsa_out clients that come with JACK,
+but they provide much better audio quality. The resampling ratio will
+typically be stable within 1 PPM and change only very smoothly. Delay
+will be stable as well even under worst case conditions, e.g. the JACK
+client running near the end of the cycle.
+
+=head1 OPTIONS
+
+Options for both executables are the same, except the default JACK client name.
