Oooh snap!



Here's an updated list of the possible official recommendations for 
discussion:


- A distribution should attempt to run jack as the default audio server 
and should attempt to make the process pf starting jack easy for a non 
technical user.
- Pulseaudio should attempt to connect to jack by default and fall back 
to the alsa layer if jack is not running.
- Closed source binaries such as those provided by companies like Adobe, 
Skype and Real Networks should provide flexibility for changing the 
audio library path and not be hardcoded to /usr/lib/
- For 32 Bit systems with memory of more than 8GB we recommend enabling 
CONFIG_X86_PAE in the kernel
- For a 64 bit desktop system please ensure the 32 bit libraries for 
alsa, jack and pulseaudio are installed by default.



cheers.
