I agree with you that a big part of the problem seems to be a conflict 
between the existing Linux workflow model and people who are not able or 
prepared to work within the modular app model that jack provides for. 
Various people have tried to provide this out of the box and centralised 
functionality already but it seems no one has the the ark that AL users 
are conditioned for. I think this discussion helps some of us to get a 
good overview of what people are still missing.

Time stretching and beat matching have been worked on with varying 
results over the years.  I find it interesting that so many people rely 
on these tools so greatly. However it's clear there is a market for 
software that deals cleanly with this issue which is not being 
sufficiently handled yet by the various Linux apps.

Maybe it's a good idea to also discuss the best examples we have in the 
Linux apps collection for the above functionality to see where we have 
missed the mark?

I find it blatently ignorant for some of the posters to say that the 
jack model is not and never gonna work. That's just outright rude. For 
many of us JACK works very well already. If someone doesn't like the 
modular approach and requires a monolithic interface they have various 
options available. No need to write off jack and all the hard work that 
has been put into the apps that work within the modular framework.
