Re: [Jack-Devel] stepping down

Maybe it is the difference in the way we are using JACK over here. Particularly with netjack but also with a variety of older systems. In some cases we don't have pulseaudio or D-bus running. in total we have more consistent results with JACK1 for our use case. I'm not saying that JACK2 cannot be made to perform as well as JACK1 in the same circumstances and it could also be that proper A/B testing reveals a user bias instead of real world performance differences. However we generally do not have the time or inclination to do such tests as it usually takes a considerable amount of effort to get a fully working system and trying to replicate the results with JACK2 is not our main motivation. The point is that JACK1 is still very useful so unless we are going to spend a lot of time/effort to track down the differences between JACK1 and JACK2 it is useful to keep JACK1 alive for specific use cases. Assuming that we have a few people who are willing to keep contributing to the JACK1 codebase then it shouldn't be a problem for JACK1 to track JACK2 or vice versa. However if no one wants to continue maintaining JACK1 then we need to spend some time to find and isolate any differences in performance between the two.
