Hi,

in 2016 I tried to build a snap for qjackctl, hence a real-time sound
server and real-time audio apps using this sound server were involved.
This time I was subscribed to
https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/snapcraft , in the meantime
replaced by https://forum.snapcraft.io ;). Nowadays probably some of the
old issues are solved, however, apart from security concerns, the snap
infrastructure is inappropriate for a lot of domains, while the classic
packages or ports approach is appropriate for all domains.

Regards,
Ralf
