I thought pulseaudio was only ever advertised for desktop and some embedded use cases, and that Lennart is perfectly aware of the fundamental differences between JACK and PA and that they target a completely different range of applications [0]. I wouldn't *dream* of using anything other than JACK (with LADISH) for pro-audio work (well, more like "home recording" in my case, but close enough). I actually like pulseaudio for desktop use, though. When you start JACK it will kindly get out of the way, so the two aren't necessarily mutually exclusive (actually, you can set it up to automatically set up ports in JACK2 with the jackdbus-detect module, if you want that). After a few years of use I finally ended up requiring one of its more "advanced" features: moving streams between sound cards at runtime.
