As a relatively non-technical person who uses my computer for audio
stuff, having to deal with alsa, pulseaudio, and jack has been a
confusing hassle. What I gathered from spending way too much time
reading and watching tutorials to figure this stuff out is that alsa
is the base level, pulseaudio rides on top of that and handles audio
for most common applications but lacks the low-latency necessary for
audio recording. Hence the need for Jack. Then you need to figure
out how to make jack and pulseaudio play nice and function along
side each other. It's a mess. Thankfully, the new version of Ardour
recommends just using alsa by itself. It makes sense that this would
be faster. And it prevents me from spiraling down a rabbit hole of
confusion trying to figure out why my audio isn't working. So now I
have no need for Jack at all, and pulseaudio does whatever it does
without bothering me. The only downside is that when Ardour is
running, youtube videos will not play. A little annoying, but I can
live with it.<br>

There are days when "Linux From Scratch" seems like a great
idea...<br>
