I don't need such a volume control. For my workflow it would be useless. > Has anybody tried to FIX pulseaudio so it would, say, perform as well > as Jack? And imagine that all the manpower developing pulseaudio would have been brought in developing jackd, instead of wasting it for pulseaudio development. > > GNOME3 with gnome-shell-frippery does a good job at multitasking and > can be used like GNOME2, but it's still heavy, maybe even more so than > GNOME3 by itself. Currently I set up a GNOME 3 in fallback mode, aka GNOME 2 mode, this results in black text on black background and white text on white background, freezing Linux, missing icon themes etc.. For my old 32-bit 800 MHz single-core Athlon even low weight DEs didn't improve much. Using the frame based Ion2 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_%28window_manager%29 - did improve a lot. Performance regarding to the DE isn't an issue for my 64-bit 2.1 GHz dual-core Athlon. Reliability and workflow are important for me, anyway I agree that a studio distro shouldn't use a DE that needs more resources than GNOME 2 did. - Ralf -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
