It can +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"). + +Optional dependencies are libffado and celt. + +This conflicts with jack. Only install one of "jack" or "jack1". + +This is the "mature, stable" JACK1 branch. It's not 100% deprecated, +but it no longer receives much attention from the upstream JACK +developers. They recommend not using JACK1 at all, actually. + +Note: this build was formerly known as +jack-audio-connection-kit. Before installing this, "removepkg +jack-audio-connection-kit" if you had it installed. + +SBo build maintainers, please DO NOT list this 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. |
