Binary package hint: idjc

Steps to reproduce:
  - install idjc
  - run idjc
  - select default profile (so just press ok)
  - get a message:

The JACK sound server needs to be running in order to run IDJC.
In order to manually start it try something like:

  $ jackd -d alsa -r 44100 -p 2048

  - Why doesn't it run it? If it knows its not running and it needs to be running?

Maybe I'm missing something here. But instead of showing the message it should just launch jackd..
Forcing users to use the terminal is not the way forward.

Suggested fix:
  - run jackd when it is not running at launch time
  - if we automatically started jackd, we kill it at when idjc closes
