The Jack device is a PCM device, and packets of PCM data can safely be
merged. I am not sure that the same would be true for a webcam returning
JPEG frames, for example.

I think a generic thread wrapper can do that in a very simple manner. Part
of your patch would still be needed to handle EAGAIN gracefully, but the
rest is not very complex. I have little time the next few days, but I can
try to provide the outline of such a wrapper sometime.
