Oooh snap!

Here's an updated list of the possible official recommendations for
discussion:

- A distribution should attempt to run jack as the default audio server
and should attempt to make the process pf starting jack easy for a non
technical user.
- Pulseaudio should attempt to connect to jack by default and fall back
to the alsa layer if jack is not running.
- Closed source binaries such as those provided by companies like Adobe,
Skype and Real Networks should provide flexibility for changing the
audio library path and not be hardcoded to /usr/lib/
- For 32 Bit systems with memory of more than 8GB we recommend enabling
CONFIG_X86_PAE in the kernel
- For a 64 bit desktop system please ensure the 32 bit libraries for
alsa, jack and pulseaudio are installed by default.

cheers.
