I do want to become a tester, and the links you gave have saved me a lot of time digging around to find out how to go about it. Things like running JACK with pasuspend are the sort of "cleaning up" and integration work that I was thinking would take some time to work through. I had been thinking it would be best to wait for this to happen before starting testing, but I suppose that the sooner testers start checking, the sooner these things will be found and fixed. Your comment about jack2 : is that something for the future, or are you saying that jack 2 is already in Lucid ?
