Yes, I am aware of the kxstudio PPAs and have in the past downloaded the
non-apps from there. One of the problems I have had with doing that, is
that the depends all point back to the same PPA set. This meant that
almost my whole audio setup was replaced including jackd and some of the
other session management tools. In fact one of them autostarted for me not
when I started Jackd, but when I started one of the jack based
applications.

I am not sure this is a bad thing of itself for the end user, but for me
this is not an option as I try to help people with UbuntuStudio set their
system up and it helps if I can shadow what they are doing with the same
versions of application. I also do not know what the current set of
kxstudio apps are like. They may have changed and my comments may well be
out of date. Generally good quality stuff anyway.
