The Linux Audio Conference 2004 (Linux Journal)
Developer Bob Ham revealed plans for his Linux Audio Session Handler (LASH), a system for saving and restoring the states of and connections between any number of LASH-aware audio applications. LASH is a much-needed system. As Linux audio applications continue to subscribe to the JACK bus, a means for saving and restoring their states becomes most valuable."

The bit of functionality we need is not Linux-specific, so "Linux" should not appear in its name. Gnome and KDE run equally happily on BSD and Solaris systems, after all. There should be a cleanly designed, portable mechanism that can run on any Posix-compatible OS.

Jack has been ported to BSD and OSX, but it's mainly used on Linux. I'm not against changing the name (although I'm in no position to do so), but there's a lot of inertia.

So, I think Linux Audio Conference is about right. BSD folks are still

True, but most of the action that is later presented at the conference takes place on the linux-audio-dev mailing list.The Linux Audio Conference 2004 (Linux Journal)
It's not just about Jack, there's also ALSA, which is, after all, the Advanced *Linux* Sound Architecture.The Linux Audio Conference 2004 (Linux Journal)
welcome, just as they get their own booth at the LinuxTag, for example.
The original poster probably meant LASH. Although it can work with JACK and other software not specific to Linux, the configure script in the last version 0.4.0 requires ALSA libraries to be present.
Perhaps LASH was meant, not the conference name
