[LAU] Jack support in Mumble

Hello all,

This is an appeal for help in solving the last great gap in the audio tool
chain for podcasters. The Linux audio world now has a robust compliment of
professional tools to record an independent radio show. We all know that the
open source and free software community is under reported on in the media
and the effort it takes to put out a show it greater than it should be.
Recently on the show Shotofjaq they mentioned Mumble as a possible solution
to voip woes that we currently have for podcasting with hosts in different
locations. Currently the only solution we have been able to get to work with
our Jack setup is an outdated version of Skype and compiling the
alsa-utilities by hand to include jack support . That as well as some custom
work in .asound to make something that is stable enough to get us through an
hour long show without headaches and break downs.

We have tried going the SIP route as well and the issues are thus:
1. Asterisk is a pain in the butt to set up.
2. It's difficult to set up your firewall on the client side to get reliable
connections.
3. There are no sip clients that support jack either and no other hacky work
arounds have gotten us a reliable setup anyways.
We have filed a feature request for every SIP client we could think of and
have been turned down by them all.

Mumble is quick and easy to set up on server and client end. All it is
lacking is Jack support.

If it's a question of money or developers, then I would love help in
identifying what hurdles need to be overcome. So please, if you have any
incite into how we can get this accomplished let me know. I will not let
this be the one thing preventing quality content about the floss world.

The new feature request is here.

please show your support in any way you can.
