You are asking a lot to get the developers of dbus, pulseaudio,
portaudio, jack, alsa  all to iron out a few wrinkles.

Also you need to be running the latest version of all the apps to make
sure that they have not already been sorted, so add the OS version
maintainers to the list to keep their packages up to date.
Running Debian will not keep you up to date with package changes.
Studio64 , one of the debian based DAW  distros is very outdated.
