We analyze the equation of state in terms of quasiparticles with continuously distributed mass. We seek for a description of the entire pressure-temperature curve at vanishing chemical potential in terms of a temperature independent mass distribution. We point out properties indicating a mass gap in this distribution, conjectured to be related to confinement.
