I don't have any issue, I've got proper Linux DAWs. The GNOME applet
isn't a solution since inexperienced users have no idea that jackd isn't
working without glitches, regarding to CPU frequency scaling. I'm an
experienced Linux audio user, but since a while very often people have
issues regarding to a 'hidden' frequency scaling. Frequency scaling
should be set by the kernel config and FWIW, it safes nearly no energy
consumption to chose 'ondemand' instead of 'performance'. It might safe
around 1 W, e.g instead of 45W for an Athlon dual-core, it will be
around 44 W. I suspect that experienced audio users start their audio
sessions by scripts, including to switch the CPU frequency scaling if
needed, at least I do so. A DAW isn't a flashy toy desktop with all
kinds of funny toys in the panel.

Safe energy caused by a portable computers display. And if you think CPU
frequency scaling has any effect to the load, than use the kernel's
config for a default kernel to set the governor to ondemand and for
real-time kernels it should be set to performance, so everybody's needs
are fit.

With hope that Debian developers join a users list to get information
about the needs of users . IMO users shouldn't spoil a developers/
package builders list.
