Hi,

We've been supporting jack sound server [1] for a long time.
Currently, we're supporting jack1 as
media-sound/jack-audio-connection-kit. However, jack2 has been out for
quite some time.

As its name does not imply, jack2 is not really the successor of jack1
but rather another implementation of the same protocol [2]. As such, I
don't think it is wise to add jack2 as an update to jack1 in
media-sound/jack-audio-connection-kit but rather to add a new package
(media-sound/jack2) along with a virtual that packages can depend onto.

Proposed ebuild for the virtual is here:
https://github.com/suhr/gentoo/commit/1aebd8e72ff4ff2665761fc3b07f796945aa0943

Best regards,

Alexis.
