The author might add support for it in the future. However, as I, Fernando
Lopez-Lezcano, and other audio creation related folks said, Jack is what you
need for an audio session with a DAW. This is not an mp3 or avi player that
everybody can use. It has a specific target audience. People who use DAW's have
appropriate hardware (semi-pro or pro sound cards) most of the time.

The author explicitly asked us to remove it from a Linux package.

I heard that before too. But I can't find it in the guidelines. I also asked
folks at #fedora-devel on IRC. Multiple people said, SSE should be enabled on
ix86. Can you point me to the guideline that says the opposite?

However, I do believe that my explanation in comment #14 is pretty valid. In
short: I do do audio recording. My experience says older hardware is useless
for such purposes. They create too much latency.
