I prefer not to have unused applications installed - especially network related. But I do use pulseaudio - not because preferred over jack, which I know nothing about too, but because it's the best overlapping option for my xfce-based desktop environment. With this option, I can reduce the avahi-app dependency, otherwise ungoogled-chromium (depending on pipiewire) would install this completely unused application. The attached patch also changes defaults: PULSEAUDIO (_without_ module-pulse-zeroconf) instead of JACK - this might be not generally beneficial... In my case it is, but whoever decided JACK is the one to use by default should decide if this is still the best choice. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
