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
