<div>Sometime in the next two weeks, I will
find the time to deal with a variety of pull
requests for JACK 1, update some articles on
<a moz-do-not-send="true"

(notably FAQ stuff), and do a new release of
JACK 1.<br>

Great!<br>
Does this include the latest patch from Fons too?<br>

<div>This will be my last work on JACK. The time
has come for me to step down from my role as
"benign dictator (and jack1 maintainer)".<br>

Can't say I'm surprised.<br>
JACK development has been slowly decreasing in activity.<br>
We have working meta-data in jack1 now at least, thanks for that!<br>

I'd be happy to take care of the maintenance of the code (making
sure it works on new distros, dealing with pull requests, etc).<br>
But only if someone else is willing to handle the non-coding parts,
like the website.<br>

<div> It would obviously be even better if someone
was willing to take the big leap to JACK3, a
version that combines all the best parts of JACK1
and JACK2, but I think it is more realistic to
accept at this point that this is not going to
happen. <br>

I think the ideal case would be to combine both pulseaudio and jack
in a single API that allows both realtime/producer-oriented plus
consumer-oriented applications.<br>
Having pulseaudio give up the soundcard for JACK is nice and all,
but users get very confused why their sound mixer suddently stops
working...<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Anyway, I got a question for you Paul.<br>
What do you think about the jack1 dbus patch?<br>
Having that in would allow to have the same dbus tricks jack2 uses
for pulseaudio.<br>
I know you don't truly agree on how it was done, but since you're
stepping down I know there's very little chance the "proper" way
will get done.<br>
<br>
<br>
And Nedko, if you're reading this, are you willing to finish the
jack1 dbus integration if Paul agrees with its inclusion?<br>
