[LAU] KXStudio reminded me of why I don't like ZynAddSubFX

Booted live KXStudio 14.04 DVD. Cadence started JACK, pointed uselessly 
at the onboard audio. I pointed it at my USB sound card with the same 
settings I use normally. Started Zyn. It visibly made sound (Zyn's 
indicator), but no sound came out. (I found nothing in Cadence to 
connect Zyn to JACK. But then I don't know Cadence.) I ran KMixer and 
audio volume was up for the USB card. So I said, Oh, well, guess it 
doesn't work with Zyn. (Not the first time I've had problems with Zyn 
and JACK, I much prefer Yoshimi.) So I close Zyn. After which Cadence 
reports that JACK server is stopped. Restarting JACK or even force 
restarting a JACK restart using Cadence gives me no audio devices to 
pick from.

KXStudio isn't ready for this user yet, I guess.
