Pulseaudio often isn't needed at all and furthermore it has got counter-productive effects for most professional audio work. For workarounds there is software such as apulse, see https://github.com/i-rinat/apulse , let alone that some apps such as Firefox support alsa, as well as jack, just build Firefox with "ac_add_options --enable-alsa" and/or "ac_add_options --enable-jack".
If a user gets the setup right in the first place, there seldom is the need for cheap workarounds such as a bridge to pulseaudio. Note, it doesn't matter what distro I prefer to use myself, since I report issues to upstream (real upstream of software, not Ubuntu's upstream called Debian) and I help users using Ubuntu flavours. I don't see posts from Erich Eickmeyer on Ubuntu flavour user mailing lists helping users. Get in contact with thousands of users before making changes based on articles you once read. Choice is good, as long as the choice is well maintained. If you add new packages without granting maintenance for those packages across releases of Ubuntu (Studio), you harm users. -- ubuntu-studio-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
