Not just Ubuntu, but Linux in General. I'm looking for the same thing :)

I haven't heard of that one, Thanks for the pointer, I'll look.

This is called "remote broadcast contribution" and would be useful for
some of the on air radio/TV broadcasters as well. You can read about some
of the research in this area on the EBU website (not Linux).

I think probably the first thing would be to set the jack-pulse bridge to
not auto connect so a session manager/ or other jack tool can do the
connecting. There are some changes to pulse that may show up at some time
making it easier to set up jack as the default. But ya, right now it is
not the best.

The other idea I have is to use jackd itself in the for of netjack, but
that requires both ends to use jack and understand it. The OPUS codec is
standard in the latest jack, but requires a tweaked OPUS lib as OPUS uses
non-binary sized chunks :P  I get the sense that jackd may ship with it's
own opus at some point or you can roll your own. (compile option)

The English is fine, no worries. I am one of the few here with English as
a first language.
