I think it's probably possible to do the transition to the system bus,
if we just can find someone to write patches for both PulseAudio and
Jack. During a transition phase we would have to use both buses, to
cooperate with applications using only the session bus.

Note that now that everyone is moving to a user instead of session
bus,

Are we? :-) I haven't heard anything about e g Ubuntu switching over, but I could have just missed it?

the benefits of moving to the system bus are reduced.

For me the main use case would still be collaboration between a user-level PulseAudio and system-level daemon(s). Which does not change with the move from session to user.

Also, who
would ship the dbus/polkit policy to allow logged in users to own the
name?

Hmm, that's a good point. As a starting point, maybe the same package that gives access to the soundcard itself to logged in users?
