Jack Audio

The easiest is to install the precompiled binaries.

Jack Audio Connection Kit

The Jack audio connection kit can be found at http://jackosx.com/

QJackCtl

QJackCtl is highly recommended instead of jackpilot. It is kind of harder to find online as binary version. Is can be found in this strange place http://ardour.org/osx_system_requirements

Note: The program starts, but cannot start jackd. I am in the meantime using jackpilot to start it and then QJackCtl to make connections. I tried to compile the source but it doesn't find qt frameworks...

Finder

Sort Folders Before Files

This only works when you sort by kind... Just edit with emacs or any other text editor (as root) the file:

System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/InfoPlist.strings

and change the line:

/* General kind strings */
"Folder" = "Folder";

to:

"Folder" = "~Folder";

Restart OS X.
