Install/configure Jack sound server

Jack (which is required to use DigitalScratch) is a sound server: all sound applications are sending and getting sound from it. One of the best feature is to connect sound card inputs and outputs to applications and also applications together. When DigitalScratch starts, it connects sound card inputs and outputs with it (this is the default behavior, you can change it). More info about this project: JACK.
