At Fedora, we have pulseaudio that is supposedly compiled with jack

users it is best to get rid of pulseaudio if they want to do audio
production.
So, please don't raise your expectations. Pulseaudio is the same
cra... uh, the same annoyance.

I'd be fascinated to know the answer to that one. It should be much
the same result as for someone who is at present running Pulseaudio
hand compiled with jack support, if anyone can report on their
results. My impression is that most people with problems have rather
removed PA than try to make it work with jack, so data may be scarce.

Will it really be possible in lucid to let pulseaudio work with jack1 and jack2?
Or are there still difficulties?

Sorry, I meant Pulseaudio, but Portaudio is also assisted by this;
there are a number of other benefits to, including making Firewire
devices accessible to audio packages without needing to recomplile
them. The Main Inclusion Report for jack at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MainInclusionReportJACK summarises the
benefits nicely.
