Issue description
Add support for JACK transport to Synfig to allow audio workstations e.g. Ardour, to be used with Synfig.

Proposed interface: A button beside the transport controls in the main canvas window and the preview window which allows the timeline to be connected to a running JACK transport. The button icon is changed to indicated when Synfig is connected to JACK. The connected timeline in Synfig and any other program connected to the JACK transport will be kept in sync.

I'd like to assign this to myself since I've started to work on an implementation of this feature: https://github.com/cillianderoiste/synfig/tree/jack-transport

There is discussions and mockups for preview window about "sound supporting", and the soundtrack widget of preview window is just commented out.

Hello, Cillian!

As result of our fundraising campaign for this month, the "Sound Support" was chosen as the development priority - http://igg.me/at/synfig-may-2014/x/2188395.

Our plan is to add JACK support as soon as possible and ship it into current master branch. So, me and Ivan would like to join your efforts here. ^__^
