That is because some of the dependency libraries of frinika (jVorbisEnc,
jorbis, ...) require the minimum java version 1.5 which is lower than frinika's
requirement. 

Now you might ask: I already have openjdk installed which provides java 1:1.6
which is higher than 1.5; why is gcj being dragged in?

This is a good question. The answer is: For java libraries that the minimum
dependency can be met by gcj, the AOT bits are being built and included in the
package. These AOT bits are .so files and naturally they are linked to libgcj.
RPM's automatic dependency generator is picking this up as a dependency.

There have been a couple discussions in the fedora-java mailing list to drop
the requirement of building the AOT bits but the idea got rejected, mainly
because the AOT bits bring a performance improvement, especially in slow
computers and in ppc* architectures. I'm sure this topic will be revisited in
the future as starting with F-13, ppc* are going to be dropped from primary
archs.

Did you configure jack as explained in
   /usr/share/doc/jack-audio-connection-kit-0.116.1/README.Fedora ?

Also, wait a little for frinika to launch. Don't kill it right away. In my
system it takes ~15 seconds to launch.
