is what I'm trying to get a handle on. At this point I'm all in favor of
PA as an attempt to resolve the problems of normal desktop audio.
However, I haven't had such a great experience with it in recent
versions of Ubuntu (I know, I know...) but I'm hoping to get "unsoured"
about those experiences. The possibility of out-of-the-box low-latency
realtime JACK-enabled performance would be nice to have in mainstream
Linux distributions.
