 So there may in fact be a DE that is best suited to any one workflow. That
 is, someone doing a video workflow may find that xfce is not the best DE
 to use and that the programs they are using run better and more reliably
 on something else. There are things missing in xfce like colour
 correction, that KDE has, gnome has, unity has.


I think that's a good idea. I have been looking at using something like
xmonad for my audio work to set up a pre-configured desktop where all my
usual windows and applications open in preset places. And perhaps there
could be some guidelines on what DE to use, when and why?

 It should be easier to disable PA to a near-removed status though

 Unload module-jackdbus-detect:
 pactl unload-module module-jackdbus-detect

 PA still takes up memory, but uses almost no cpu without that module.

 The CPU-load would be tolerable, the problem is, what PA+dbus do at
 startup. Is there a way to blacklist interfaces? Some command like : PA
 do not touch that device!?
 
 Yes, run pavucontrol, select the last tab (configuration?) select the card
 you want PA to leave alone and turn it's profile to OFF.

Thanks for the hint, I did not know that. Sadly it looks, like the
problem resides deeper in the bowels of dbus: the problem prevails, only
KDE spits out device is not available messages

Anyway: thanks again! with every shot in the dark we draw nearer a real
solution or as Spock puts it: Once you have eliminated the impossible,
whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. ;-)

 Counter
 intuitively, I turn off the cards Jack is not going to want to use as I
 have found that the PA-jack bridge links the two cards. In other words, if
 PA uses the internal HDA (mine does not do good low latency due to HW
 problems) and Jack is using my USB IF, the problems I would have with the
 HDA, show up on the USB. The PA-Jack bridge forces PA to try to do the
 same latency as jack.
 
 I am not sure if that is clear. The thing to remember is that they do
 interact when bridged. This is not really a bug any more than the fact
 that a trailer will affect the way your car drives.
