The current situation is bad for everybody: noobs have to configure jackd, but advanced users configure it anyway. What I don't understand is: - whether the -n 3 option would work for every standard card or if some absolutely require -n 2 - whether going though pulseaudio is really an issue concerning performance (I mean, only for base users) Since ardour requires jackd, the latter should configure itself automatically so that ardour can start it flawlessly. But maybe this is a little trickier that it seems - at least this was why pulseaudio was introduced in Hardy.
