+This project aims to ease the usage of legacy, non JACK enabled
+applications, in a JACK MIDI enabled system, when using jack2.
+
+Typical usecase is e.g. to connect bristol/azr3 with qtractor/seq24.
+
+Note: The latest jack-audio-connection-kit release contains a2jmidid
+functionality by itself.
+
+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.
