Yes, the packages are available in other ditros, however, the kernel
has come POSIX 1000.3e (?) capabilities patches that aren't in other
kernels.  These capabilities allow JACK (http://jackit.sourceforge.net/)
to do certain things, but then jack clients need to know about how
JACK is working.  Basically, using the Planet CCRMA packages would
seem to be the easiest way to keep the apps in sync.

So, how does one install .debs or RPMs in gentoo, and still have
the niceness of emerge?
