[alsa-devel] Broken JACK plugin in alsa-plugins and a way to fix it.

[Jasiu]

Sorry, it seems that while that fixed the problem for some apps
(notably mplayer) it broke a few others. (amarok, artsd) So please
just ignore my remake about the fix for now. It would be nice if
someone could explain to me why that bug happens, because currently
I'm more and more confused about that.
