Thanks much (all). My Debian Squeeze package manager only has the 1.9.6
version. I did manage to find the debian-tarball you mentioned, got it
unpacked (via 'Archive Manager') wondered what the heck to do with it...

<A HREF="http://packages.debian.org/sid/jackd2">http://packages.debian.org/sid/jackd2</A><BR>

though i have no idea how you can install an experimental Sid package into your stable Squeeze, i believe it can be done.<BR>

good luck.<BR>

Now I know (a little something) about it. I shall ponder & meditate,
upon the likely necessities, & possibly give it a try. Like the poet
said: "How can you learn less?"
