Practically speaking, you nailed it right there. There's a fairly small and well-defined circle of professional audio production apps that serious creators use, that use JACK by default, and that no-one would want to be any other way. Everyone involved - the authors and maintainers of JACK, Pulse, and the apps in question - knows what's what, so there's not really any practical problem here. To anyone with sufficient knowledge (and everyone involved has that), "should this app use Pulse or JACK?" is a pretty simple question to answer. Audacity is a no-brainer to be Pulse by default. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
