I have got a problem with pulseaudio and jack not

importantly I have got a problem with pulseaudio being the default sound
server and not having automated functionality to connect with jack. If
after 10 years of running Linux audio, I have issues with getting
pulseaudio to play nicely then pulseaudio is failing to meet it's main
objective of making things easy for desktop users.
I would really like to encourage the pulseaudio people who are reading
here to make pulse gracefully and automatically cede control to jack and
then auto configure itself as a jack interface.
AFAIK the fix is already implemented in both jack and
pulseaudio. Interestingly, the fix involves using D-Bus (nobody whants
to reinvent wheels for no reason). Of course it will take *some* time
until the dbus cooperation mechanism between jack and pulse gets
included in distro releases.
