For many needs there likely is no noticeable real difference between jackd and jackd2. I preferred jackd2 in the past, because it came with an improvement regarding to MIDI jitter. However, I didn't make music for a long time and during that time jackd and jackd2 seemingly have improved a lot. IOW I don't know what current version from jackd/jackd2 is better for what needs, IMO there should be offered a choice, with an explanation, that using jackd or jackd2 could make a difference. I hope you make jackd2 with pulseaudio and or dbus a recommended and not a hard dependency, assumed jack and jack dbus are separated packages. Regarding to the policy that Ubuntu Studio by default seems to come with a combination of jack + pulseaudio I won't add a comment, without switching to sarcasm-mode. <sarcasm> Why only using 2 sound servers? Why not making 4 or 6 sound servers the default? </sarcasm]. IMO it doesn't make sense, there should be a clear definition what Ubuntu Studio wants to support. Assumed Ubuntu Studio wants to be an audio distro, then pulseaudio is an absolutely no-go. If you want to ship Ubuntu Studio with the pulseaudio-jack combination add a note that Ubuntu Studio is not an audio distro. This might sound harsh, but it's my deepest believe, so I need to point this out. -- ubuntu-studio-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
