hi Mark, 
you were not the onlyone thinking this, and these both suggestions
have been talked about on the JACK list recently. iirc the first xrun
will not show up anymore in the latest JACK version. can anyone
confirm please (i'm not subscribed to jackit-dev).

for those of us who only use CDROM based CCRMA distro this feature
will obviously still be there for a while. i got used to it by now :)
gr, ALEX
