Compiling with PA_USE_JACK=1 (Windows)

[hockinsk]

I'm struggling to find a definitive answer. I see in the documentation that we should be able to compile portaudio.dll for including Jack support, but then here in some Windows-specific docs, I don't see the PA_USE_JACK=1 preprocessor listed as an option. Is this the case on Windows? Should we deal with Jack without portaudio.dll on windows? I was hoping to add Jack, as I added PA_USE_ASIO=1 without issues but to no joy so far to include Jack support, which is ironic because JACK server itself is running with portaudio as it's driver to connect to ASIO/WASAPI on Windows as I type this.

9) Also in the preprocessor definitions you need to explicitly define the native audio APIs you wish to use. For Windows the available API definitions are:

PA_USE_ASIO
PA_USE_DS (DirectSound)
PA_USE_WMME (MME)
PA_USE_WASAPI
PA_USE_WDMKS
PA_USE_SKELETON

In my visual studio solution I have:
C:\Program Files\JACK2\include as C/C++ → General → Additional Include Directories

C:\Program Files\JACK2\lib as Linker → General → Additional Library Directories.

Under Linker → Input → Additional Dependencies I have libjack64.lib

PA_USE_JACK=1 is in the preprocessors

C:\Program Files\JACK2 is in the PATH variable, although libjack.dll is under C:\Windows from the JACK2 Windows installer putting it there, so would be found anyway.

I just don't understand what the hell is going with portaudio default build?
Why when using portaudio.dll is this happening, simply importing sounddevice library into a script? I haven't even set up a client, yet portaudiodll seems to deactivate itself from seeing jack when it loads. Weird?
