Hi Clément,

after seeing some users struggle with pipewire-jack because they didn't

asking a LLM prone to hallucinations, I realised it could help a lot to
have a debconf question asking if one wants to use pw-jack to run the
jack compat layer, or use it all the time. If one doesn't intend to use
jackd at all, wich is usually the case of newcomers setting up
pipewire-jack setting up the ld.so config would make more sense.
Still, to allow power-users to use jackd and the jack compat layer only
as an exception, a debconf question that one can change with
dpkg-reconfigure makes most sense to me.
I have always wanted to make pipewire-jack easier to use, but I haven't
had the time. It would be wonderful if you could propose this feature
via a salsa MR :-)
Best regards,
Dylan
