Ok. > Instead of complaining that it is not working like YOU want, perhaps > can you explain what is the purpose, your specific need, etc... ?

I don't want to listen to CDs/DVDS and work in Ardour *simultaneously* bit I want to be able to; 1. Watch a DVD/listen to some music 2. Work with ardour 3. Watch a DVD/listen again to some music _without_ starting/stopping jackd or manually tweaking configure scripts. > Please, don't consider that answer as an attack.

Thank you for answering my emails in the first time. :) I understand that for professional work with many tracks/effects/etc you have to have a professional sound card. I think you can do professional work _without_ one, for example recording single tracks for later use. As I mentioned this is frequently done by professional composers/musicians that I know of. So the only thing I complain about is a working ardour after first installation. Consider two users, A is a professional and B is a hobbyist. Now it is: A has to configure ardour/his sound card to get a professional music workstation, and B installs ardour, gets a mysterious error message (your hard disk is too slow!) and immediately returns to W*****s! I think it should be: A has again to configure everything, but B installs ardour and gets a nicely working piece of software with easy record and playback. B is happy and tells C to use Linux for his recordings/compositions. I think this could be done by routing audio data from ardour via jack to pulseaudio.
