I can't help but find your answer here unfair and biased. All in all I
think the proposed UI really helps to make things easier, not only for
people who are "too lazy to learn the details" and options like ALSA
MIDI or PA bridge are not as unreasonable as you think. They are
options anyway.

I agree with you on the 32-bit bit depth setting. Other than that I
like the proposed UI much better than what you are suggesting here. In
fact your proposal is an even more "dumb" UI. What's the difference
between music and audio production anyway? Where do you know from, that
I don't also need low-latency in an audio production context? Or that I
don't need to listen to some web-audio on my monitor speakers while
working on a new song? You don't, and that's why the original proposal
gives me the choice to enable the features I want, while striping away
some of the more obscure jack parameters.
