Yes, this is probably the most sad part about the PA story.  While the
linux audio community has jackd since many years, and many linux audio
applications do support jackd directly very nicely, the PA people still
insisted on reimplementing yet another audio server, and not caring
about low latency.  So what we now have is jackd for audio work, and PA
for desktop audio.  I am really not sure this makes any sense, but well.
