       Linux audio is hard. Can we create a tool that would set up any Linux system to work with audio with no user knowledge required? Can we make it "just work" for new users?#LinuxAudio #FOSS #JACK #ALSA #PulseAudio #MusicProduction

       @unfa From my experience, PulseAudio "just works" for new users (unless it's buggy and doesn't work, but that's a bug).Now if you want to use JACK, it's probably a ProAudio situation, you probably want low and predictable latency, and to get that you should probably know how the buffers are passed around and what the latency comes from, etc. If you're a professional, I think you should understand how your tools work.

       @wolf480pl @unfa i don't believe "you should understand how your tools work" is a good excuse for the state of tools like jack. seemingly random crashes after startup, a log window containing "too many xruns …" and so on are not helpful and just the result of the tool's inability to figure out the optimal working configuration (or even some working configuration) by itself. so if someone's willing to improve that, i'm all for it.
