Nice. Do you have a package already?

The description sounds a bit out-of-place for Debian descriptions, how
about rewording it to something along the lines of:



A realtime audio transport over IP network integrated with jack-audio-connection-kit.

Netjack will synchronise multiple clients on the network to one
soundcard, so that there is no resampling or glitches.
Netjack however is weak against packet loss.

Useful when using network-connected multiple PC's for audio
recording/playback.
