PulseAudio and Ubuntu Studio 11.10

[Filipe Lopes]

well, my philosophy for KXStudio is to have JACK running all the time.

for web browsers, we can simply have a asoundrc file (and also
libflash-jacksupport).

I'm currently working on an application that manages all this (JACK
settings, ALSA audio, A2J and pulse-jack bridges, patchbay, etc, etc).
code is here - http://repo.or.cz/w/cadence.git

not very documented for now, nor officially released yet, but it's what I
use in KXStudio right now.
