JACK is a low-latency audio server written primarily for Linux. It can connect a number of different applications to an audio device, as well as allow them to share audio among themselves. Its clients can run in their own processes (ie. as a normal application) or they can run within a JACK server instance (i.e. as a "plugin"). This package uses POSIX filesystem capabilities to execute with elevated privileges (required for realtime audio processing). This may be considered a security/stability risk. Please read http://www.slackbuilds.org/caps/ for more information. To disable capabilities, pass SETCAP=no to the script. Optional dependencies are libffado and celt. Nb from Didier: I tried to enable portaudio beut then buls fails.
