Toine,

No, I was not using Falk's PPA.  I have a Lucid install (with in the audio
group) for my main recording box.

But I have also done some testing of Maverick (which I believe included
JACK2 at the time) although I didn't explore if I was part of the audio
group.  I plan on installing the new Beta and seeing if JACK2 is still
installed by default,  if the user is in the audio group still, if real-time
is granted for JACK, and how the integration between Pulse Audio and JACK
stands.

I had done some previous testing between JACK and Pulse earlier, which was
encouraging.  If anyone is interested you can read it here:
