Yes I know it, but I'm not enthusiastic about using a dismissed software;
Sorry, what do you mean by "dismissed software"?
He probably refers to the fact that the main developer does not mantain
the program anymore. However there is a guy (Yury Aliaev) who
contributed bugfixes and who's writing a gtk2 port, so the project isn't
dead. The gtk2 port can be found here:

I had a great time with soundtracker and used it a lot in the past, but
the fact that it doesn't support jack (at least not reliably) kind of
discourage its use...
I really don't grasp cheesetracker as I come from fast tracker and you
know, impulse tracker vs. fast tracker was a sort of religious war like
emacs vs. vi :)
soundtracker is a great program, and I sincerely hope one day it would gain
jack support and jack_transport features. This would put it back "on the
road again" in my setup.
Trackers may seem a thing of the past, but as James Shuttleworth has
repeatedly proved on this list (BTW great music, James) they can be
great tools for music creation.
