[Fedora-music-list] Jack and pulse on the Spin

Just a note that the default F17 pulseaudio configuration supports jack 
bridging via dbus (/etc/pulse/default.pa).

### Automatically connect sink and source if JACK server is present
.ifexists module-jackdbus-detect.so
.nofail
load-module module-jackdbus-detect
.fail
.endif

This is different to again to module-jack-sink.so/module-jack-source.so
which is what some of us have been using up until now.

What that means is if jack-audio-connection-kit-dbus is on the spin by 
default, bridging is set up automatically.

This is something that needs to be considered carefully and I'd be 
interested in how well jackdbus is working for people. I was having 
random errors in the past with jackdbus hogging CPU with pulse.
I will perform some more monitoring here, but it would be great to hear 
what others have experienced.
