Ubuntu Studio Controls has been rewritten a couple times since this bug
was filed. Also, this seems like a general complaint more than calling-
out a specific package.

Title:
  Apparent Altercations between Audio Programs cause Freezes /  Non-
  Operation of Programs

Status in Ubuntu Studio:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  It seems that not all packages are compatible. Some will run when certain others
  aren't loaded  - when they have no competition - and won't run when another program 
  takes the resources..

  It seems that to open one set of programs / mixers etc etc can
  preclude the opening of others.

  Example is that in one of my Ubuntu studio machines, Ardour / Rezound
  loads just fine, On the my other one it says Jack is unavailable. And
  that's straight after boot, from both machines. (The one that fails
  has a Dell soundcard that I supported and recognized by the system).

  Another example is that Audacity will load but can't move it's cursor to play a file loaded, 
  but in the good machine it works just fine - same file. (Cursor keeps returning to Zero after 
  play is requested - it moves then jumps back to Zero).

  SUGGESTION

  As per another of my Bug Reports, suggest that the Ubuntu Studio
  Controls rewrite that is occurring at the moment also include
  troubleshooting tools and cross-checking features to help Newbies
  (like myself) to come to grips with the system, without spending days
  to get a basic result.

  This issue seems to depend on how buggy the system is. Therefore the
  troubleshooting tools should also cross check the system itself, to
  see if it's OK to run the Realtime Audio applications, as requested by
  the User / Engineer / Muso. The tools should say what's driving what
  and what's needed because of that and then reveal any bottlenecks
  before they happen.
