+jack (realtime low-latency sound server)
+
+JACK is a system for handling real-time, low latency audio and MIDI.
+It can connect a number of different applications to an audio device,
+as well as allowing them to share audio between themselves.
+
+Its clients can run in their own processes (ie. as normal apps), or
+within the JACK server (ie. as a "plugin"). JACK also has support for
+distributing audio processing across a network, both fast & reliable
+LANs as well as slower, less reliable WANs.
+
+Note: This build conflicts with jack1: install only one of the two.
+JACK's developers recommend not using jack1 at all, although it's still
+maintained.
+
+Note: this build was formerly known as jack2. Before installing this,
+"removepkg jack2" if you had it installed.
+
+SBo build maintainers, please list jack (not jack1) as a dependency for
+your builds. If the software you're trying to build really does work
+with jack1 but not jack, please contact the jack maintainer (currently
+B. Watson <yalhcru@gmail.com>. Include the build log and any runtime
+error messages in your email, plase.
+
+This package uses POSIX filesystem capabilities to execute with
+elevated privileges (required for realtime audio processing). This
+may be considered a security/stability risk. Please read
+http://www.slackbuilds.org/caps/ for more information. To disable
+capabilities, pass SETCAP=no to the script.
+
+Optional dependencies are celt, libffado and opus.
