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