it's not needed to run jack ...

the jackstart script is part of 'media-sound/jack-audio-connection-kit':

On my system it isn't, even when I have jack-audio-connection-kit installed:
clock@kestrel:/usr/bin$ ls jackstart  ls: jackstart: No such file or directory 
clock@kestrel:/usr/bin$ emerge -s jack-audio-connection-kit Searching...    [

Description: A low-latency audio server       License:     GPL-2 LGPL-2.1  The
only occurence of 'jackstart' in my system is it's manual page:
clock@kestrel:/usr/bin$ locate jackstart /usr/share/man/man1/jackstart.1.gz

i see, i re-emerged it and now it's also not available anylonger for me. trying
to figure out why it was "lost", working on it.

added a patch to install the jackstart command , again. thanks for reporting
