Re: [LAU] pulseaudio issues [was Re: jackdbus issues: a workaround ? (Was: more jack/qjackctl madness)]

It was the reason i removed it, Patrick.

Every time the pulse server would crash, or freeze, jack would get
taken down as well. I don't know, frankly, if this was a problem in my
setup, but the install was a standard one, without tweaks, at the
time.
