[Red5] Publishing to Red5 via Java (a bunch of newbie questions)

[Jase]

In case any one is wondering, and to validate my need to use a Java
publishing client instead of Flash/ActionScript, the main reason why I
need to use JACK is due to the fact ALSA doesn't publicly show up all 8
recording inputs on the sound card (which I'm using 6 of them). Flash
also has an issue under Linux where it only supports one mic device, and
by using JACK I can test things remotely over the VPN without faffing
with wires/mics etc.
