may i add my 2-point not-so-extreme-stance-of-sorts? there it goes: a. jackdbus *do* auto-start the jack-server if not already running; b. legacy jackd *do* auto-start exactly what's in "~/.jackdrc" file; fwiw. i do have this "/absolute/path/to/qjackctl --start" in there, so that qjackctl pops up whenever a(ny) jack client application is called ;) (*) both of the above scenarios are summoned as soon jack_client_open() is called *without* the JackNoStartServer option set. my.02eur cheers -- rncbc aka. Rui Nuno Capela (*) ps. i often test over recent jack2/jackdbus "enabled" distros (read ubuntu, debian, whatever) and as a matter of fact the .jackdrc "hack" seems to work there too; that is, qjackctl pops up whenever jack-server is called in; even though it's configured to talk with jackdbus service... advantages to that bizarre situation goes like the jack/pulseaudio bridge becomes fully "automagic" then, as to a full desktop UX ootb. ;) _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
