Yep, probably, it is
not necessary very much, since there is jack backend for alsa. But objects and ports, it
creates, have useless names. If two or more alsa apps are started, and then i launch
patchbay, i can't associate them with apps. For some apps i don't need to have
ports in patchbay at all, and connecting them to pulseaudio has value.
jack2-simple-config utility, shipped with kxstudio, allowes to disable pulseaudio at all,
though i have it - just to be safe :] (of course, not as alsa-to-jack bridge... just to be
safe)
There is not mistake. Each way has advantages and
disadvantages. As for
me - when i work with pro audio software, i don't like to
lost jack-less
applications, like web browser.
I think you missed my point. I didn't say that you should lose audio
from such applications. I said that introducing a layer of the
complexity of PulseAudio in order to do this, when there are other
options available seems like a mistake to me. I cited my specific case
where I listen to a variety of non-JACK-aware audio applications all
day, via JACK, but without using PulseAudio because I don't need any
of the (fairly cool) PulseAudio features or its complications.
