This was certainly helped by the insistence (for good reasons) that
JACK is not designed for normal users or non realtime desktop apps and
the lack of effort contributed to tackling the inherent issues.
However we do have a problem now that needs to be sorted with
integrating pa and jack in a way that is easy for everyone to work with.
Do they need integrated at all ?
Oh yes they do...
At least to the extent that jack gets the soundcard when it is started.
I think that is already part of the current svn of jack2. Whether it is
good that PA keeps working on top of Jack after that or not is debatable
- in some cases it might be desirable, in others it might not.
