Odd, I'm running Clementine right now, and the volume is at 50%, while VLC is running at 10%, and Ardour is at 100% volume. All running through JACK. Did I mention they're all playing audio at the exact same time? sounds like per-application volume control, myself. I'm surprised you didn't know that, considering the pomposity you took while educating me on Unix[1] above. should we be taking that comment with a similar grain of salt? 1. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8434382 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8434382

If I have to manually configure one thing, and not the other, the one I don't have to configure wins. Pulseaudio solves my problems. JACK didn't. You can claim that JACK did, that I'm lying, that I'm crazy, or whatever. You can claim that I'm a weev-level Nazi-troll bent on destroying all that is right with the Universe. (You seem to like doing that.) The fact remains: Pulseaudio allows me to control volume independently of application and play multiple audio sources at once, whereas JACK didn't give me either of those things.

  So, yes, we should be taking your knowledge of PA/JACK/UNIX with a large grain of salt. Further, your reply is largely a strawman argument (when did I say you were lying or crazy? what's this about the Universe?), and a borderline ad-hominem. I feel this speaks for itself.

    No, you shouldn't, because I'm your target audience: Techy but not interested in sound per se, which means I can do things to make it work but I am not going to undertake heroic measures to get JACK to do a fraction of what Pulseaudio does out of the box, for example. You're just biased against Pulseaudio. There's no other explanation for it. You can't accept that Pulseaudio is a better out-of-the-box experience, and that that matters.
