as I understood it he wasn't really criticising JACK for being what it is,
he was pointing out that basic audio doesn't work well (in linux) and that
unless that's fixed the linux would not be accepted as (part of) audio
solution. Which might or might not be true - e.g. (AFAIK) for studios you
just need small set of apps and don't care about whether general-user apps
play nice.

I am thankful for Jack, but at the same time that
does not
mean there
should be no criticism. If you are referring to
me
criticizing Paul's
statements, then how do we dare criticize Linus
Torvalds
for letting OSS
happen? After all, he is the one who made Linux,
without
him Linux would
have never been. And since we use it, should we
simply shut
up and use
it with OSS? ;-)
Theres quite some difference between constructive criticism and saying
that something is broken or incomplete because it doesn't meet
your needs, despite being told over and over that your needs
were never
the objective of the system in the first place or there is no
manpower devoted to achieving what you want right now.
