Apparently the newer versions of media-sound/snd have support for jack but there doesn't seem to be a jack flag in the current Gentoo ebuilds. Could you add a Jack flag?

7.15 in cvs. Added jack and some USE flag.
Hehehe, the use flag is nice, but then the snd ebuild must depend on media-sound/jack-audio-connection-kit ("A low-latency audio server"), *NOT* on media-sound/jack (that is "A frontend for several cd-rippers and mp3 encoders"). But don't worry, you are not the first one to be fooled by this (see http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62358 ;-)
sorry, it fixed.
Thanks very much. With this fix snd now has Jack support.
