Based on the Main Inclusion Report for Jack which you authored, I am expecting Lucid Studio to have the following functional out of the box :
- xine, alsa-plugins, portaudio, pulseaudio compiled with jack support so that most applications would still be able to use the audio hardware while jack is running (e.g. being able to use Skype without first shutting down jack), and not having to suspend PulseAudio to use jack. - general applications should have transparent access to firewire devices via pulseaudio/jack/ffado for audio input and output. I realise that for serious audio work one would dedicate the workstation to audio and deliberately shut down everything not needed, so the above would not really be relevant, but I think that many people (like me) just want to have a reasonable audio capability without dabbling in arcana, and without making the machine useless for anything else.
