I run 13.04 Pulseaudio is 1:3.0-0ubuntu6 If you read carefully, you may find, that the bug refers to a situation, where jackd spawns the following error: ATTENTION: The playback device "hw:0" is already in use. Please stop the application using it and run JACK again I have a problem, that spawns this: ERROR: cannot register object path "/org/freedesktop/ReserveDevice1/Audio2": A handler is already registered The only "fix", I could find so far is completely removing pulseaudio (recommended by FalkTX), seems not the most elegant way to handle this to me. What I was trying to say here is, that it would be great, if a distro-variant, that promises ease of use for multimedia-producers, concentrates on making the distro working as expected in the first place. Before discussing easy to go fun stuff like what DE will we use and how shall it look like? I am sure, if the team would concentrate on show-stoppers, the users would be glad to help fixing them and be it by spreading word on such problems to become a PITA for those, who are qualified enough to fix. I am not and most users are not capable to fix low-level bugs as well.... Do you have a statistic on how many people out there use US for music-production? Anyway: any person, that uses Win or Mac for that that tries US and is encountering this problem will switch back and maybe consider using Linux next year or never.... best regards HZN > > Here's the bug report > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1163638 > > I think it's fine to suggest fixing packages that are buggy, but please > remember that fixing these packages is done entirely by volunteers. > Which means, anyone may do it - you, or me. > -- 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
