Hi Peter,

Thank you for the clarification. I felt I was a little too critical

about their relationship to JACK, so I'm glad to hear it matters to

them. Alas, I'm no coder, so I can't help directly. OTOH I would like to

see the Linux version of LMMS get it together. It's a very promising

application, but IMO it should address its audio problems before all

else. Prettifying its UI ought to be a secondary consideration until

reliable audio stability is achieved.
Best,
dp
