Are you actually having problems or is this in theory? If it's just 
theory, try it and see. As I understand it, because Jack runs in 
realtime, it gets preference over non-realtime apps.

Certainly, I have never ever experienced a problem that I would put down 
to network activity.

If your computer is fairly modern and you have a decent card then it 
should be capable of doing network and audio at the same time.


But try it, and see.
