Briefly - this package is one of those good ideas that hasn't really
been followed through. glashctl is a GUI front-end for lashd, which is
only relevant to users running a real-time kernel and jackd for
multi-app audio set-ups - many of them prefer to use the command-line
rather than a GUI which doesn't really work. It really needs someone at
debian-multimedia or a dedicated sub-distro such as 64studio to pick it
up, so it may be worth pursuing the standard orphaning procedure.
However, dropping it might force someone to write a front-end that
works, if such a thing is really required. I doubt whether anyone will
be that bothered.
cheers,
tim
