This is, i believe, at the heart of the problem.
As a user looking in from the outside, it appears odd that the pulse
team didn't jump onboard with jack,
"they" (i.e. Lennart) know all about JACK. JACK and Pulse
superfically
some similarities ("sound server") but at a deeper level have almost
diametrically opposed goals.
Do you think, that Jack and Pulse could see each other as perfect
abstractions:
Pulse sees Jackd as just another "soundcard"-Port it can deliver its
stream to - the same as it does with alsa
Jackd sees Pulse as just another application that delivers a stream -
the same as it is related to Zyandd or Ardour
?
Or would realtime-issues in Pulse still destabilize Jackd if Pulse runs
as a jack-client?
Is the situation with pulse and jack really this bad that pulse can
actually take down jack if it has a runtime issue?
I don't recall anyone mentioning that scenario over the past few years.
It wouldn't surprise me though as pulse is a unique beast and may put
strain on the system if it is competing with jack.
