why install pulseaudio in the first place? I don't know to be honest.
I'm still getting to grips with how Linux audio works and what the
various drivers and tools even do, let alone how they do it. So it's
good to hear someone with a different perspective on the usefulness of
PulseAudio etc. The KXStudio website states the following:
"users will be glad to know that Jack2 is present and that *all* audio
output is sent to it. This includes Pulse-Audio, which means that you
don't have to stop Jack if you need to, for example, open a Web Browser
to watch some tutorial videos."
I've read lots of people agree that this is a great idea - I'm still
trying to fully understand why because it seems that I DO need to stop
Jack, or at least re-route it, if I want to open a web browser and watch
some tutorial videos.
Hmm, I don't have to stop JACK in order to watch a YouTube video. Good
old uncooperative Flash adamantly insists on playing through the lousy
laptop speakers instead of the good speakers!
