Can I? (jack)

Michael, (aXxium)

As I was working on a customer's machine to convert him to Zenwalk, I 
decided to help him with this midi as well.  In finding the programs on 
our mirrors, Rosegarden mostly, I noticed our "jack" was way out of 
date and we didn't even have the Qjackctl available!

As I see jack was last done in Jan '07 by you, I decided to build the 
latest version and update the build file.  I will attempt to get 
Qjackctl going next, but I wanted to ask you, if you would mind me 
taking over jack for the mirrors?

Seems like there are several people working with midi and music using 
Zenwalk.  I believe JP keeps or use to keep TuxGuitar for us, so music 
seems to be a good draw for other users to Zenwalk, I think.  For that 
reason, I would like to keep some of these needed files updated for 
everyone and would appreciate you letting me maintain jack.  I have 
used your build file, thanks for that, to hopefully update it to 
Zenwalk standards now.

Oh, yes, this midi stuff is more difficult to deal with than I thought, 
so any suggestions to make it easier would not go unnoticed by me.  
Extra karma points to those with thoughts.  ;-)

I'm also considering bringing MuSe onboard as well as Audacity.  I 
thought til was doing audacity, but I couldn't find it in his repo.  
Both sound a bit easier to use with midi, so that was my interest in 
those.

Thanks!
