Sounds good...

So how is portaudio set up? Is it like ARTS in its operation? have you 
been using Qjackctl to control jack and can you get port audio to "talk" 
via that app to apps that support  port audio.  Does it act like jack 
within Qjackctl in as much as having ports from the host app and client 
apps show that can be tied together just like we do with jack?
