It should be relatively straight-forward to add a driver for doing audio
output to JACK. I'm never studied the JACK API, but the interface between
E-UAE and the audio driver is quite simple.

It should be possible.
It might not be necessary, though. Isn't it possible to configure libasound to
output to JACK rather than directly to the ALSA driver? I'm pretty sure
there's a libasound plug-in that does that, and E-UAE does support libasound
(E-UAE's ALSA driver).
