But build it with more than one backend, and the user
needs ways to
choose the backend, at which point, things start to get much more
complex than they otherwise would be.
And while we are talking about user friendlyness or confision:
For those who like to stick with already available packages instead of
building their own, which I guess are more than 1%, a simple option to
the ardour binary or an environment variable to only use jack and don't
ask for the backend at all would not hurt either.
Or check if jack is already running and if then do not ask. But then
again, having a _possibility_ to start ardour with a default template
and not asking anything would be really a big step up.
