Excerpts from Ng Oon-Ee's message of 2010-11-28 17:19:11 +0100:
I'll take both your words on it. Its worth noting that Pulseaudio automatically corks when JACK wants a sound-device (jack2 that is, not jack1). Running phonon atop pulseaudio wouldn't make sense if every app uses phonon. Due to other considerations (for example that all the major distros are pushing pulse), this may not be the case in the future.
Just to make sure no-one gets wrong ideas: jack2, despite its name, isn't going to replace jack. It's another implementation, not a replacement. Both have their share of benefits and drawbacks, and Jack (1) is the most used implementation.
