I have the crazy idea that Ubuntu Studio should be user oriented. If that was the case, ubuntu studio needs to solve two really big issues: 1) complexity: PA vs Jack => ubuntu studio vs the user, Windows and Mac will win 2) stability: jacks crashes, timidity crashes, etc.....
Shouldn't JACK+Timidity start with init.d and be stable, working without issues with PA ? My Two cents.
