I'm attaching my current unedited (ie: not edible by Fedora Extras :-)
spec file for Jack... This is for CVS of the clock_fix branch, which
fixes problems with low level timing on dual core Athlon processors (you
also need a recent kernel that does not select the TSC for internal
timing on those processors to make everything work correctly)
Ah, I forgot - if you are using a proper "preempt" kernel then you also
want Rui Nuno Capella's rtirq script (also part of Planet CCRMA) which
optimizes the priority of irq processes to favor audio i/o - that's
mentioned in the jack spec file, that's why I remembered.

%description
JACK is a low-latency audio server, written primarily for the Linux
operating system. It can connect a number of different applications to
an audio device, as well as allowing them to share audio between
themselves. Its clients can run in their own processes (ie. as a
normal application), or can they can run within a JACK server (ie. a
"plugin").
JACK is different from other audio server efforts in that it has been
designed from the ground up to be suitable for professional audio
work. This means that it focuses on two key areas: synchronous
execution of all clients, and low latency operation.
