Package: jackd

I have noticed that jackd periodically becomes zombified and therefore
ceases to work on my amd64 debian etch system running on an athlon x2
dual core CPU. Asking on the jack dev list, I was told:

The "-clockfix" branch of jack CVS fixes this problem.  The root problem
is that the TSC clock sources on the AMDx2 cores are not sync'd,
therefore time, as perceived by JACK, can appear to leap forward or
backward as the process migrates across the CPU cores.  The -clockfix
branch works around this "feature".

I checked out this branch of jack from CVS

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/jackit co -r
clockfix jack

And the problem seems to be fixed. Although now none of the debian
packaged jack apps recognise my jack server.

cheers
