I was chatting a bit about this with Nedko Arnaudov some time ago and he
suggested a jack virtual package and pointed me to a link on the jack trac
wiki but I think that link is down right now. We should be able to select
these different versions of jack somehow without ugly masking. The situation
right now with jack1 and jack2 in one package is not great but it works
because we don't have to change any dependencies of other packages. I did some
work on a local overlay with a jack virtual but the problem is all the
dependencies in portage and the overlay, I was not sure how to proceed with
this and my questions on irc in gentoo-media went unanswered, maybe I should
have filed a bug instead.
Kind regards
Gavin
