[Ardour-Users] No sound from my speakers

yes, you are right!

But the "normal" user of a "mainstream-distro" will get absolutely no
info about such issues, when he start ardour!

Beside technical solutions or facts, I mean it's time to look over the
fence and stop any disskusions about the "better or dirty" systems or
use a "audio-distro".

Some people will simply do her work with an standart-install. Maybe
audio-editing is for such people one application among others. Under OSX
or Windows you can start heavy audioediting-programs without the skills
for a "jackd versus pulse-audio guru".....why must it be so complicatet
under linux?

And I Think it's not good for such a great Program like Ardour and
others in the "jack-audio-world" when new users fall into this
(preventable) traps.

I know enough people they have testet ardour and are struggled about
this issues, and left this great alternative....

Did you understand, that I think, it's a generally problem that must be
solved, not only technical?
