Why not submit a patch for a new startup flag which controls this behavior? Â That way the souped-up setup gurus don't clash with the the users who "just want sound" with a default jack install. Â (Thus no need for voting, which is so 19th century anyway...)
Thanks for this advice. I don't think anyone, at least Miller, wants another startup flag. Should have had said 'advocate' more than 'voting', which is so 17th century perhaps.
