What's going on with the qjackctl + kdenlive project now? Will kdenlive have jack support soon?

If Kdenlive becomes able to use Jack as an audio engine in the future, that will be a dream come true. I would love to use Kdenlive in sync with other audio software and encode audio at 24bit 96kHz as well. What can I do to help Kdenlive developers realize this dream?

Since Kdenlive v0.8 will be released sometime in March, I wouldn't expect v0.8 to have Jack support already, but I really hope that Jack support becomes an important priority for a future Kdenlive release. If the project is already happening, then I'd like to find more info on how it's progressing (or not progressing). Very very very interested. Kdenlive is already top-notch but with Jack support, it would become a gargantuan behemoth monster of victory.
