Great!

Mind if I include something like

"
#!/bin/bash
#script for using a graphical dialog to jack_capture. Written by Svend-Erik Kjær Madsen
while true do Xdialog --stdout --yesno "PRESS YES TO START REC"  10 40
   case "$?" in
     0) jack_capture $@ | Xdialog --stdout --msgbox " RECORDING IN PROGRESS\n PRESS OK TO STOP REC " 10 40
     1) Xdialog --msgbox "Ok no recording started" 10 40
   esac
done
"

in jack_capture as jack_capture_gui?
