As I said, only out of the Powerpack box.  ;-)  But the rpms are available  
through urpmi as well.

Unfortunately, the multimedia kernel you must install yourself, becuase it is  
a security risk due to the capabilities patch.  Of cource you can do this with  
one command:
# urpmi kernel-multimedia
Which also worked with 9.1 by the way.

The howto for 9.1 is still available at
http://groundstate.ca/mdkaw.html
but it will be updated within the next few weeks to 9.2, mainly concerning the  
beautiful new GUI for jack, and ardour's new and improved configuration menus.
