+jkmeter (audio level meter for JACK)
+
+Jkmeter is a horizontal or vertical bargraph level
+meter based on the ideas of mastering guru Bob Katz. See
+<http://www.digido.com/media/articles-and-demos.html> and follow the
+links on 'level practices'.
+
+This is the type of meter you want for live recording, mixing and
+mastering. It probably makes no sense to use it on all tracks of a DAW,
+where keeping digital level within limits is the main purpose of metering.
+
+By default, the package is built with '-march=native'. If you need a
+generic package that can be installed on any Slackware machine with the
+same ARCH as the build host, set FORCE_SLACK_CFLAGS=yes in the script's
+environment.
+
+This package uses POSIX filesystem capabilities to execute with
+elevated privileges (required for realtime audio processing). This
+may be considered a security/stability risk. Please read
+http://www.slackbuilds.org/caps/ for more information. To disable
+capabilities, pass SETCAP=no to the script.
