Comment 2 for bug 500119

Hello,

The main reason for Openshot to use JACK would be the above mentioned syncronization with pro audio apps like Ardour and perhaps even more importantly access to dozens of JACK Client Plugins and various LADSPA and LV2 plugins. Access to these types of EQ, Compression and Dynamics would rival the already impressive filter set on the Video side of Openshot.

Although Pulseaudio may be fine for general desktop use it is a kludgy mess when used with JACK, many Ubuntu (and Ubuntu Studio) users who do pro audio uninstall Pulesaudio before they do anything else. AV Linux for instance does not even come with Pulseaudio due to it's issues with JACK.

I would respectfully suggest that Openshot would very much benefit from direct JACK support and it would open up a whole new world of audio processing and restoration capabilities.
