    Nice track.  I played around with it a bit.  If you want to try
JAMin take the attached file and place it in your .jamin directory
(uncompress it first).  You can use alsaplayer with the -o jack option
and run that in to JAMin or use Ardour for both in and out.  The
at_slum.jam file should show up in JAMin if you go to File->Open.  I
only spent a few minutes on the settings.  You really don't want to push
this track too much as you'll lose some of the dynamics.
