Frank,
   Following up, this is what I found in Gentoo Bugzilla

<SNIP>
Bug 21752

Heh torben, what's the issue with jack-start? Is this only for
media-sound/j-a-c-k
or media-sound/jack-cvs, too?

jack-cvs seems to be building fine. Let me know.

I'm not going to put the capabilities stuff back right now. The idea of
having to
hack kernel include files to get it to work seems 'distasteful'. I can only
imagine
the bug reports...
<SNIP>

   I will still enter a request, but it looks like this is considered at
least controversial by some at Gentoo.

   Is there any reason that the ebuild could not patch the kernel include
file to add capabilities? It's like a two line change, isn't it?

Cheers,
Mark
