You're using Jack DBus? For what kind of productions? What setup do you use? Even if Jack DBus should be ok for my needs, it's uneconomic to switch back from familiar setup. A lot of people need to switch from GNOME to Xfce, not because of PA, since PA easily can be replaced by a dummy package, but because of other bad changes. You can't do such hard changes of the work flow in a professional environment from one day to the other, when several people are involved. FWIW I'm jobless at the moment, but my life career is audio and video engineer for around 30 years, from small studios to world famous companies. I might have less knowledge about Linux, but I know about professional audio work flow. Comments like you makes a majority of engineers use Apple and Windows for pro-audio, while Linux would be the better choice, if there wouldn't be such issues and comments like yours. Regards, Ralf
