Great news on the jackstart front. Apparently my request was addressed:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27063

I haven't tried it. Please remember, it won't work unless you have the
capabilities patch in your kernel. The patch is pretty simple, but since
I'm such a newbie I hate doing this stuff myself. With you helping out
I'd be up for doing it together and then making sure we both work.

The patch an info at the end of this note comes in an email to me from
Fernando Pablo Lopez-Lezcano, the person that runs the PlanetCCRMA site:

http://ccrma-www.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/

This is Redhat based, but is the absolute easiest and most up to date
audio site around. He runs the network for Stanford's Music Department
and Stanford allows him to go public with all the benefits. Check it out
at least to see more audio stuff available. I run Redhat on one of my
two Linux boxes.

Also check out Dave Philips wonderful site:

Cheers,
Mark
