I was a bit confused by that as well. I'm running a vanilla FC6
without any patches and JACK just runs (like the energizer bunny). I do
have a patched kernel with Ingo's RT patches but I hardly ever boot it
because, for the most part, it isn't necessary.
Looking at my (non-)workflow yesterday, it is
clear to me that the most
time-wasting problems I am having are with jack. I start jack, I open
the various clients, I plug them into each other and I start working.
Then jack boots some of its clients off, or even crashes, and I have to
start again.
Time spent setting up jack etc: 90%
Time doing productive work: 10%
Most people's time spent setting up JACK is because they are on a Linux
distribution that doesn't come configured correctly for using realtime
media applications. On systems that are, running JACK is essentially
trivial unless you insist on using USB audio interfaces which, partly
because of their terrible h/w design and partly because of ALSA's poor
driver support for them (compared to OS X and Windows), tend to be more
problematic.
