Taking the Pulse
As the Fedora Jam spin rolls onwards , a key component is Jack. The Jack Audio Connection Kit (one of those recursive anagrams so popular in the mid 2000s...) is the glue that binds pro-sound in Linux together. It's used for DAW s, audio plugins , real-time effects processing and generally pushing sound around. To do this it has to play well with another Linux audio layer, PulseAudio , and this is where the trouble starts.
