[PlanetCCRMA] xmms-jack 0.8.1

[David Fraser]

xmms-jack 0.8.1 has recently been released.
It fixes the problem mentioned below (with frequency conversion routines 
in xmms 1.2.7) as well as a problem where pausing wouldn't stop the time 
in xmms from advancing.
Note that the frequency conversion changes will only work in xmms 1.2.8 
or higher (1.2.9 has just been released...)
Only known problem in the release notes is the following:

However I haven't found this to be a problem when running on 
RedHat/Fedora ...
