[LAU] Gentoo Pro-Audio overlay: Jack downgrade?

[Brent Busby]

It seems a recent 'emerge --sync' is wanting to downgrade my Jack...or 
is it?

It looks like some dependency of FluidSynth is steering me toward the 
Jack package included in main Gentoo, version 0.121.3-r1, and trying to 
remove my 1.9.9.5-r1 package from Pro-Audio overlay.

However, I know there are some differences in numbering scheme for Jack 
depending on whether it's the SMP or non-SMP supporting version, and 
also there's the DBus versus daemon thing.  My current Jack (before 
emerging) is SMP with DBus (it can be controlled with the jack_control 
comamnd).

Should I be concerned about this?  What correlation does 0.121.3 from 
main Portage have to 1.9.9.5 in the Pro-Audio overlay, and is this 
really a downgrade?
