connect a number of different applications to an audio device, as well as
allow them to share audio among themselves. Its clients can run in their
own processes (ie. as a normal application) or they can run within a JACK
server instance (i.e. as a "plugin").
-jackd has to run with realtime priviledges. One way to do this on Slackware
-would be to use set_rlimits. Since 12.2 there's another way. If you have
