I just want it to be possible to use & develop audio applications on top of GNOME (without fiddling about to make it all work). I'm not saying JACK should be part of GNOME, though maybe it should become a dependency - it does seem to be used by most audio apps. We have all the technology to produce a decent audio platform. Why not just connect it all together and get it to work out-of-the-box?
