Maybe I am confused.
Is PulseAudio a replacement for ALSA or does it sit on top of ALSA?
Is it even attempting to be a replacement for JACK in terms of
pro-audio real-time low-latency?
Or is it a replacement for esd or whatever sound daemon or the GNOME
or KDE daemon thing use? Of course, PA and jack don't work together
either (at the same
time on the same device(interface?) at least). Both need full
access.
I've not tried it yet, but recent versions of PulseAudio have a JACK
sink...
http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/Modules#module-jack-sink
If so, how is PulseAudio any different from any other desktop sound
daemon that JACK users have been disabling since time immemorial?
More flexibility for normal users, the use of more than one sound card
without dnsnoop(sic) and the supposed ability to pipe each application's
sound thru which sound card they want. (I have had no success with
this, but I'm not fond of tinkering with no idea of what I'm doing).
And yes, using the gconf setting to tell gstreamer to use its jack pipe
is easier, better documented and most applications seem to be happy
with it (at least in the gtk2 world).
