Bugzilla Bug 211183

Opening a new bug, as the old one was closed:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=210415

Rationale:

> Why?  I have never had jack on my systems over the years and have zero
> intention of installing it just to use audacity.  Things were 100% fine until
> this "update".  Now I can't simply "emerge world" because jack will be
> installed, in-turn mess up other sound apps by seeing some kind of jack
> installed, and I now can't use --depclean anymore since the jack dependency
> makes it fail.  

I agree with this as well, I never needed jack to run audacity, so don't think
it should be a dependency now.

The audacity wiki also states that audacity using jack has not been extensively
tested and has a number of issues:

   http://www.audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=Linux_Issues#JACK

It also mentions that audacity-with-jack should be enabled by using portaudio
with both jack and alsa enabled. How about adding jack and alsa USE keywords to
portaudio (and requiring portaudio to use the minimum version of jack that
audacity requires)? Then audacity could use a portaudio USE keyword to enable
jack support?

(As it is, "emerge world" is trying to pull in jack, but audacity is even going
to get rebuilt to use the new jack headers..)

Go figure this out on the previous bug thanks.
