Description : record JACK server outputs

QJackRcd is a simple QT application to record JACK server
outputs (use it with QJackCtl)
.
It manages natively silence by threshold and activation
time. Silence event can be used to pause the record or
to split files by closing the current record and opening
a new one.
.
Optionaly QJackRcd is enable to post-process each file
record at closure in background mode. The command is a
simple bash command.

Sounds similar to jack.record (part of jack-tools), jack-capture and
timemachine.

Is it really relevant with yet another tool? Perhaps emphasize more
clearly how its features are different from those other tools already in
Debian.

IMHO yes, indeed it is:

* jack.record is a CLI-based application
* time-machine is written with GTK+
* jack-capture is CLI too (yeah, it also contains a script which
relies on zenity - means: GTK+ - to provide a rough graphical
interface)

QJackRcd would be the only tool for Qt4 users. Plus, it provides many
cool advanced silence processing features:

"QJackRcd is a simple stereo recorder for Jack with few features as
silence processing for automatic pause, file splitting, background
file post-processing.<br> It can be used with QJackCtl."

[...]

"Features:

- QT simple GUI with disk usage and vumeter
- Jack support for recording, jack transport support
- Silence compressing with auto pause and optional file splitting
- Background WAV post processing for format conversion and signal processing
- Automatic connection with first launched jack source facility"

Jonas, thanks for the review and you're right: I'll improve the
description before uploading the package.
