I tested jack with dbus and classic on rosegarden and it causes lag,don't=
 know yet if the new version is better. All the multimedia:apps=20
use the classic interface and don't work with the dbus one. Kde can use j=
ack with phonon as a front end but I really don't know what good=20
that is. So as all existing apps use jack classic and not jack dbus will =
remain turned off. I've used jack with classic and dbus for a=20
while and it shows up in phonon, clicking test gives sound after a couple=
 of seconds, if there is a reason for using jack as a kde frontend=20
I will make a separate jack-dbus package.
There might even be a strange bug caused by jack dbus, fire fox and thund=
erbird crash with pulse audio when the mouse is right clicked.=20
bnc#690572 I'm the only person to have the bug and I'm most probably the =
only person with jack dbus and classic running.
