Description Ch. Eckert 2005-01-19 09:34:09 UTC 
This is a wish, not a bug:

I wonder if there could be an (optional) autodetection mechanism for the audio subsystem, maybe in 
the following order:

* If a JACKd is present, use the JACK output plugin
* If no JACKd is present, try using ALSA resp. DMIX
* If ALSA is not present but OSS is detected, use OSS output

This would make the audio subsystem transparent to the user. The user hadn't to think about the 
different sound systems.


Just an idea, but I think it's worth a try.
