In my experience mplayer and the likes is compiled without jack support on almost any distro, I guess mainly because jack is a pretty specialised application.

It's as simple as that. --Philipp _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
