[multimedia: sound&audio] jack-audio-connection-kit

jack audio connection kit in /incoming, to use jackstart (to get non-root RealTime capabilities) you need to patch your kernel, but jackd works w/o a kernel patch i also put a jackd rc script in there

EDIT:
this requires libcap which is also in /incoming, you can build without libcap though if you want by removing the --enable-capabilities

dp already has this in his TUR.  I'm sure, if you asked him nicely, he'd move it to staging and upgrade it.

What does --enable-capabilities do for jack?

ahh, didn't realize that it's in a TUR, i'll see if i can find dp on IRC, otherwise if he reads it here "would you mind moving it to staging?"

--enable-capabiliies builds jackstart which is a suid program that will run jackd as non-root, but hand it the ability to run in realtime mode.  This only works though w/ the kernel change they describe on the faq at jackit.sf.net, basically you have to change one line in a header and rebulid.

This is good because w/o it, you will either have to run all your audio apps that use it as root, or it will have lots of latency
