The first roughly usable version 0.0.1 of jackpanel (http://www.hans-baier.de/wordpress/jackpanel) is available. jackpanel is a graphical frontend for the JACK audio server, emphasizing simplicity, good look and feel and GNOME integration. Realtime switch, latency and samplerate can be changed with one or two mouse clicks. It comes in two flavors: A GNOME panel applet and standalone. X-runs are displayed and can be reset with a mouse click. Before starting up, make sure you have a valid .jackdrc (eg. generated using qjackctl). It will be imported on first startup. Would be nice to hear some feedback, be sure to file issues to the tracker mentioned on the project homepage. Kind regards, Hans P.S.: Jackpanel currently is not goot at configuring, but running jack. You might use qjackctl for a first time setup. After that you can use gconf-editor to manually change settings. I wrote it primarily to have JACK run when GNOME starts and to monitor its status as well as change the most important settings with one or two mouse clicks. JACK server configuration will be added later.
