Getting audio working for audio production, with some bloated desktop environments is not very useful. Some desktop environemts do start a chunk of services by default to automagically enable usage for many things, so the user needs to customize those desktops for audio work, or somebody from the community has to do it. There are common workflows for pro-audio work and even while I could add a list of odd things, caused by Xfce, it's a sane choice to use it as the default for Ubuntu Studio. I'm using it on other Linux installs too.
Pulseaudio is something that should be discussed. It's not an issue to have it installed and to disable it, but it's an issue for users who start sessions by scripts, if there is the need to start "qjackctl", but to kill "qjackctl.real" or what ever it's called ;). I don't remember what the "qjackctl"(.fake)-script does and can't take a look at it at the moment, but IIRC it did something that also could be started by qjackctl, instead of naming a script qjackctl and then let it start qjackctl.real. IMO it's already annoying if I need to start an app by it's name, but to kill it by killing python, however, this at least makes sense, while this qjackctl.thingy is an exotic Ubuntu Studio unique thing, that IMO isn't well thought out. A wrapper sometimes is useful, but this wrapper is strange. -- 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
