+This project aims to ease the usage of legacy, non JACK enabled
+applications, in a JACK MIDI enabled system.
+
+Typical usecase is to e.g. connect a software synth like
+bristol/azr3 with qtractor/seq24, or even connect midi hardware
+with jack applications.
+
+jack already contains parts of the a2jmidid code.
+
+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.
