I don't know what I'm missing, but with my setup all applications that are
not native jack clients (e.g. flashplugin etc) connect to jack
automatically with the alsa-jack plugin. What feature pulseaudio is
supposed to provide here? It supposed to mix different clients in realtime
or something fancy? In that case it does not make sense since it's not
aware of the native jack clients.

I would caution against removing pulse from the Spin. There's no need as
long as we have and easy way to turn it off - either by using Jorns app or
providing concise easy to access documentation on the wiki (there may be
some overlap with the musicians guide here). Arch have been doing this
really well for some time [1][2][3] and we could provide something similar.
Pulse achieves what it set out to really well I think but its domain is
really not pro audio. Its a complicated beast and often where's the blame
for bugs in ALSA and the kernel. An updated Common Pulseaduio
troubleshooting wiki would be really useful here.
The pulse commit lists for some time now and they seem to be really active
and very receptive to answering questions. We should start forwarding more
bugs upstream. I'm watching the bugs as they come in and hopefully will
have more time to act on them once F18 is released.
