Hi Arne, While testing the previous patch I noticed that jack doesn't handle the situation when cdda2wav prints a warning, for example because you don't have permission to read from the device.
Patch: Make cdda2wav parsing more robust, in particular when errors occur. diff -urN jack-3.1.1~/jack_helpers.py jack-3.1.1/jack_helpers.py --- jack-3.1.1~/jack_helpers.py 2006-01-23 23:40:49.000000000 +0000 +++ jack-3.1.1/jack_helpers.py 2006-01-24 00:44:57.000000000 +0000 @@ -321,10 +321,23 @@ 'status_fkt': r""" tmp = string.split(i['buf'], "\r") if len(tmp) >= 2: - if string.find(tmp[-2], '%') != -1: - new_status = "ripping: " + string.strip(tmp[-2]) - else: + tmp = tmp[-2].lstrip() + pct = tmp.find("%") + if pct == -1: new_status = "waiting..." + else: + # A normal line when it's ripping looks like this: + # 7% + # However, when an error occurs, it'll look something like this: + # 0%cdda2wav: Operation not permitted.
