So do we start another est of seeds or add another task to the seeds we 
have? From what I have seen either way is possible, but having two seed 
branches would be easier to work on from a clarity POV.

I would still like to break out the settings from ubuntustudio-settings 
that are audio performance related. I am not sure which package to put 
them in... I had thought about adding them to -audio-core (or is that 
-minimal) I am thinking about such things as swappiness, for example. My 
reasoning is that when installing studio metas on other DEs but our own, 
the de settings are not relevant but the audio settings are. I would be 
quite happy to see these included in the -controls package if that would 
be better. I am thinking the -controls package is going to become 
something that will be depended on by audio-minimal anyway.

My thinking is that the controls package would both change settings to a 
known good audio default as well as giving the user the means to tweak 
things further.
