I posted a topic about this on the Ubuntu user forums

(http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2354233#post2354233),

but I figured LAU was well-suited for this query as well:
Lately I've been using an external USB synthesizer as my main

soundcard in ubuntu (much better than my onboard) but a lot of apps I

use don't support JACK, which is the only way (and the preferable way)

to get audio output.
The one app that I really wish worked with JACK (out of the box) was

Mplayer. I really want JACK audio output with mplayer, but I don't

want to compile mplayer myself. Does anyone know of a binary .deb of

mplayer that contains support for JACK (ala mplayer -ao jack) ?
I can't find any related topics about this; perhaps it's just me?
I'm running Edgy:
>>$ mplayer -ao help
