According to jack developers, jack does not at all depend on the following packages: dev-python/pyid3lib-0.5.1-r1 dev-python/pyvorbis-1.4-r3 dev-python/cddb-py-1.4 dev-python/id3-py-1.2 media-sound/cdparanoia-3.10.2-r3 I think at least an [extra] USE flag would be in order to control these deps. Reproducible: Always
media-sound/jack is not jackaudio, I was mistaken about that.
