I did, I had it on github, but I cleaned up all my orphans the other
week. I had it in top-notch form, I wanted to see how well it worked (
but I have a habit of checking out debs before I install them, so I
just fixed it and rolled it )

Sorry! :)

If Jack is not running, and you start up the app, it errors over
stdio. It's not the worst thing, and it's fine as is, but I made it
fail with a bit more grace and let the user know to start jack on the
display ( just because nothing makes one think it's jack only )

It's not a big deal, it was just cosmetic. I don't have my patch
anymore, sorry! If I knew there was an ITP on it, I'd have given my
git tree to someone. I did a total rebuild of his debdir.

Cool. I remember reading something about a stipulation of using it
with Jesus or something like that. That might have just been the
Readme. I can't remember, it's been a while :)

I use this software locally, so if you need testers, I'd be happy to
run it and give it the basic runthrough.

Thanks for your work!
