[LAU] Any Linux distro with Jack and Pulseaudio working right?

[Luigino Bracci]

Hi!

Please forgive me for my bad english.

I'm looking for a solid Linux distro which, once installed, Jack and
Pulseaudio will be working together in a transparent way. This is because
we have many audio applications, some using Pulseaudio, some using Jack
(example: Chromium playing Youtube videos, Audacity, Rivendell, Totem,
etc.), and they must work simultaneously.

Right now, I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 with lowlatency kernel. Qjackctl is
automatically started after log in; we use pulseaudio-module-jack to route
the Pulseaudio applications to the Jack sound server. But sometimes Jack is
stopped accidentally by the user, or Jackd stop itself when the CPU is at
100%, and the users don't know with the computer has no audio.

This configuration is very fragile. I'm looking for a way to configure Jack
and Pulseaudio, so they run when the computer starts, a normal user can't
stop them, and they can be robust enough to resist the normal use.

KXStudio 12.04 is an excellent and very robust distro, Jack and Pulseaudio
works transparently, but my users are used to the Gnome 2 interface.

Thanks you for your advices!
