This is, unfortunately, no longer true as jaunty and sid now carry a different pulseaudio version. Mixing Ubuntu and Debian pulseaudio-packages is unneeded and error-prone. > I suggest to add pulse-module-jack to the 64studio repo but don't install it > as default but give users the change to do it. +1 - but please do build pulse-module-jack and the other pulseaudio packages from the same source package (Debian or Ubuntu doesn't matter - they're probably not very different anyway).
