Holy cow, did he really? Link, please! I thought pulseaudio was only ever |
| 13 |
advertised for desktop and some embedded use cases, and that Lennart is |
| 14 |
perfectly aware of the fundamental differences between JACK and PA and that |
| 15 |
they target a completely different range of applications [0]. I wouldn't |
| 16 |
*dream* of using anything other than JACK (with LADISH) for pro-audio work |
| 17 |
(well, more like "home recording" in my case, but close enough). |

I actually like pulseaudio for desktop use, though. When you start JACK it will |
| 20 |
kindly get out of the way, so the two aren't necessarily mutually exclusive |
| 21 |
(actually, you can set it up to automatically set up ports in JACK2 with the |
| 22 |
jackdbus-detect module, if you want that). After a few years of use I finally |
| 23 |
ended up requiring one of its more "advanced" features: moving streams between |
| 24 |
sound cards at runtime. |
