Heh torben, what's the issue with jack-start? Is this only for
media-sound/j-a-c-k
or media-sound/jack-cvs, too?
jack-cvs seems to be building fine. Let me know.

I'm not going to put the capabilities stuff back right now. The idea of
having to
hack kernel include files to get it to work seems 'distasteful'. I can only
imagine
the bug reports...
<SNIP>
I will still enter a request, but it looks like this is considered at
least controversial by some at Gentoo.
Just including jackstart seems very sensible. The Debian package
includes jackstart and has instructions on how to patch the kernel for
capabilities. But if a user is running a stock kernel, jackstart will not work, and one
is forced to use jackd. This is absoluetly okay, IMO.
The alternative would be to build a kernel-image, on that jackstart
depends, which just will not work out in the end. It's better to just
leave that in the users' responsibiliy.
ciao
