+WineASIO provides an ASIO to JACK driver for WINE. ASIO is the most common
+Windows low-latency driver, so is commonly used in audio workstation
+programs.
+
+This requires wine and jack-audio-connection-kit.
+
+To build the package, you will need the file "asio.h" from the Steinberg
+ASIO SDK, version 2.1 or greater. This file must be downloaded from
+http://www.steinberg.net/en/company/developer.html and copied to the
+directory containing the SlackBuild.
+
+After installing the package, each user who will use wineasio must run
+the command "regsvr32 wineasio.dll". This must be done as the user(s),
+not as root. This only needs to be done once per user.
+
+This can't be built on a stock Slackware64 system, since it requires
+32-bit Wine. It may (or may not) be possible to build on a 64-bit multilib
+system; let me know how it goes.
