After updating to Leopard 10.5.2 yesterday, I had a brief go at this
latest version of jackdmp. 

Works with both qsampler and qsynth (and hydrogen) simultaneously. 

I can also use jackdmp with qjackctl for making / breaking connections.
My question is : Is it still necessary to install JackOSX on top of
this ? If yes, why ? 

Thanks. E
