there is a difficulty with this otherwise very clean approach. there are other applications that want to start (and potentially) stop jack. if a d-bus aware version of jack is installed instead of the non-dbus-aware one, then applications that do not use the control API for this will fail. ergo: installing the dbus aware version (potentially) breaks the operation of control apps that predate the control API. not the end of the world, but not good either. also, the current jack ecosystem is already deeply confused by the existence of jack1 and jack2, which have a few very subtle but important differences. adding yet another almost-the-same-but-different option is a PR disaster waiting to happen. --p _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
