One suggestion about the spin
Since it's KDE, there is no need to use pulseaudio. One elegant
alternative would be to exclude pulseaudio and include alsa-jack-plugin
providing a system wide alsa configuration (/etc/asound.conf) like this:
pcm.rawjack {
type jack
playback_ports {
0 system:playback_1
1 system:playback_2
}
capture_ports {
0 system:capture_1
1 system:capture_2
}
}
pcm.jack {
type plug
slave { pcm "rawjack" }
hint {
description "JACK Audio Connection Kit"
}
}
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave { pcm "rawjack" }
}
I would caution against removing pulse from the Spin. There's no need as
long as we have and easy way to turn it off - either by using Jorns app
or providing concise easy to access documentation on the wiki (there may
be some overlap with the musicians guide here). Arch have been doing
this really well for some time [1][2][3] and we could provide something
similar.
Pulse achieves what it set out to really well I think but its domain is
really not pro audio. Its a complicated beast and often where's the
blame for bugs in ALSA and the kernel. An updated Common Pulseaduio
troubleshooting wiki would be really useful here.
The pulse commit lists for some time now and they seem to be really
active and very receptive to answering questions. We should start
forwarding more bugs upstream. I'm watching the bugs as they come in and
hopefully will have more time to act on them once F18 is released.
