I must congratulate all those who worked to get jack into main before freeze; I think this is a significant step towards being able to make Studio work out of the box. I'm assuming that there are further steps required to take advantage of this, which can now take place. I'm thinking of things like having Pulseaudio compile with jack support, making sure that jack and PA start in the right order and when required (if that is an issue) plus all the things that I'm not aware of which need to happen behind the scenes.
I recently mentioned the progress with jack being included in main on the Linux Audio User mailing list, and someone from a Fedora background was pointing out that they have had PA compiled with jack support for a while now, but it still has problems and that he still suggested getting rid of PA if one wanted to do audio work. It would be disappointing if this was still the case, so I think that it's important that as many people as possible do testing to cover the widest possible range of audio hardware, setups and applications. Which, if you will forgive the long preamble, brings me to my question : if I download the current build of Studio, will it include the benefits of jack being in main so that I can test PA and a number of apps on my hardware and give feedback, or is this work still in progress. If it is still happening, do you have any idea when it will make sense to start trying it out ?
