Rui's note on qjackctl prompted me to look at http://www.rncbc.org and then http://www.rncbc.org/drupal/node/191 which lead to http://qmidictl.sourceforge.net/ and http://qmidinet.sourceforge.net/ ...

Any of these can be installed easily on F12 (assuming all prereq libs, e.g. qt4, already installed, or install qtractor-0.4.5-1.fc12.x86_64 which will ensure all prereq libs are installed). This worked for me using Fedora 12, stock kernel 2.6.32.9-70.fc12.x86_64.

Summary: No need to compile your own, the SUSE 11.{1,2} RPMs run nicely (just like azr3-jack ). Still exploring, as I just got these two apps fired up...

How to do it: Grab the appropriate RPM's from here:

qmidictl-0.0.1-1.rncbc.suse112.i586.rpm

qmidictl-0.0.1-1.rncbc.suse112.x86_64.rpm
qmidinet-0.0.1-1.rncbc.suse112.i586.rpm
qmidinet-0.0.1-1.rncbc.suse112.x86_64.rpm

And install in fedora like this:

> sudo yum --nogpgcheck install qmidinet-0.0.1-1.rncbc.suse112.x86_64.rpm
