Yes, jackd would be much better. Pulseaudio is an unlucky choice. If
there's no PA installed and people don't wish to handle jackd, ALSA
already is able to do all what's needed. What was bad with e.g. arts?

For some people PA is an advantage, for other people it's an
disadvantage. What's bad with enabling those who prefer PA to install it
and for those who can't use PA to enable not to install PA?

Why is there this go/no-go type?
