Thanks Dave. I agree with you about jack. The only time I have had audio pain recently is jack related.

Sure. I should blog about it really, which I will when I’m happy with it.

Thanks again for another very interesting episode. Like Alan, I’ve found pulseaudio to be almost completely transparent for a few years now. The only place I’ve noticed pulseaudio still causes problems is if you want to run JACK to make some music using a DAW – for instance to get QJackCtl running the JACK daemon then I often have to issue a “killall pulseaudio” from the command line to get it to start. Which seems a little aggressive, really.

BTW: Please don’t change the theme music – it’s perfect.

One thing that hasn’t been discussed about Mir/Wayland, is some of the non-technical aspects.
-Mir: Single stakeholder, GPLv3 with Contribution License Agreement, developed behind doors for 9 months
-Wayland: Many stakeholders, MIT, developed in the open from start
Those characteristics by themselves are enough for companies and communities to reject Mir.
