Until JACK is included in main

PPA description

Contains audio-related packages for which JACK support has been stripped from the official ubuntu versions

Including:
 portaudio19
 xine-lib
 pulseaudio
 alsa-plugins

Am I missing any package? Contact me and I'll try to include it. Cheers!

PS This PPA is used by my work-in-progress attempt to automate the startup of a Jamming and Music Production environment in Ubuntu: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8139052

UPDATE: After an update in karmic a couple of months ago I have failed to be able to make the latest pulseaudio packages build in launchpad. Please check the launchpad logs and see what can be wrong and send me an email of how to fix it... :S

Instructions to build yourself (works for me):

apt-get source pulseaudio # make sure you have the deb-src repo first
cd pulseaudio-1.1.*
gedit debian/rules # add to line: DEB_CONFIGURE_EXTRA_FLAGS = --enable-static --with-jack
gedit debian/control # append libjack0.100.0-dev to the Build-Depends line(s) and after pulseaudio-esound-compat-dbg package description add the text between the "--------" lines.
Then run:
<email address hidden> DEBFULLNAME="Your Name" dch -i # add +withjack0 to version number and write "Enabled JACK" or similar in the changelog
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b

This should get you the jack enabled packages locally.

Now remember, jack is included in main in Lucid, so personally I am waiting for a chance to upgrade, and this PPA will no longer be needed...!
