[PD] another day's raspberry pi experiences

Hmm... I don't believe I have jack anywhere on my Pi and Pd's running
fine.  Not sure what happened to make you need jack.  My guess is that it
would be better to run without it unless you need something special (like
inter-machine audio transfer)

cheers
