pulse audio,audacity, and jack

[Luke Kuhn]

Audacity works fine with jack, tested it this way a few days ago (I normally run ALSA directly). It passed through a time when it did not work with jack,  maybe wasn't being compiled with jack support, maybe a bug, but if you start jack, then start audacity, you can select jack in preferences. Just remember to set it back unless you always use jack and audacity together..
 Interestingly, on my netbook, with pulseaudio not installed, jack is the only way to play a mono file in audacious, due to the lack os hardware support for mono on that soundcard. That means some kind of sound mixer is a must on all OS versions, and jack just works so much better than pulseaudio, even if it is not so user-friendly.
