It's a logical idea, but it wouldn't work, as jackd itself requires
compile-time configuration to know jackstart suid root exists.
But capabilities jack in contribs is an option.

I'm already on linux audio users list. I answer a lot of Mandrake help
questions. Was arguing all morning with a guy who says he can't build

Ardour-devel and ardour-users are not too busy, so I guess I can watch
