well, my philosophy for KXStudio is to have JACK running all the time.<br><br>for web browsers, we can simply have a asoundrc file (and also libflash-jacksupport).<br><br>I'm currently working on an application that manages all this (JACK settings, ALSA audio, A2J and pulse-jack bridges, patchbay, etc, etc).<br>

There's only a catch - when a user stops jack, it has to manually restart<br>
pulseaudio to make it work again.<br>

If only there were only one catch. For one, this also happens when jack just crashes, which under too heavy loads it very well may. Second, whenever I'm running JACK, audio in some other applications<br>
will stop working (web browser for example). In all fairness, in most<br>
cases it's a workable solution- but not a pretty one.<br>
<br>
If we take a step back from the technical issues and get a bit more<br>
into the user experience, the ideal situation would be one where<br>
audio always works and which allows audio to be streamed *from* any application *to* any application.<br>
<br>
So far I haven't seen this ideal situation- then again, I may be running slightly behind the facts as my last upgrade is over a year ago now.<br>
