best to ignore it. A lot
of it has more to do with the people invloved with making PA and their
attitudes rather than if PA works well or not. Some of it is also from
when PA had a lot more problems than it does now.
That's wrong. Using one sound server usually just makes more sense, than
using several sound servers that conflict with each other.
Personally, I find that things are easiest with PA
left in place. I
comment out the lines in /etc/pulse/default.pa
For me it's easier to just install one sound server instead of two or
more sound servers. I don't need to comment out something or to add
something to an app. For most use cases it's simpler to use one sound
server.
How many display managers and screen savers do you use in parallel?
Less is more, Linux allows to follow the KISS principle. Two sound
servers and managing that they don't conflict with each other is bad
engineering. Even if somebody should need PA and jackd in parallel, then
it's just a work-around, however, most users likely need only one sound
server and their computer usage would be much easier with having only PA
or only jackd installed instead of both.
