Yes, they sure can coexist. I haven't found it completely optimal always, but here is some info. I currently run both PA and JACK side by side, but on different sound cards. However, I can get PA to send audio into JACK and vice versa by manually starting JACK through QJackCtl; the PA plugin is not initialized otherwise. This works fine but it can be a little CPU hungry if I have many inputs/outputs. As I mentioned, PA is running on top of JACK. I do not know if the opposite is as easy (haven't yet tested), but I guess you could just start JACK with the dummy driver and let the PA plugin do the trick. Also, make sure PA does not take over the card you want to use with JACK. Otherwise JACK will complain. It can be disabled through pavucontrol. Kind regards, Karl
Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Removing pulseaudio
Another question. Can the installation of PulseAudio and Jack coexist? Doable or a constant nightmare? There seems to be a a package to allow pulse to utilise jack. However if you are using jack for the high quality audio benefit then apparently you have to kill pulseaudio even if it means making a dummy package on binary distros to fool the system into thinking it is installed and so not removing lots.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Removing pulseaudio
I suggested he use Gentoo but I think he saw it as too much work. (comment for me?) All I use is gentoo or embedded (state machines) on embeddded hardware. My target is jack on embedded gentoo, but, I've run into resource limitations, so I'm waiting on my new Arm15 dev board in May. Feel free to remove PA if you don't need it. I really don't see any scope for Lennart to make all of alsa redundant anytime soon (unlike udev...) Of course from many threads from a pro audio user called Ralf, Gentoo users and so a fraction of Linux users are the only ones lucky enough to be able to do that *easily* whilst keeping packages they want, especially Gnome ones! Ralf, Sorry. I should be more careful in what I write but I am in the middle of a few things. -- ___ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well. Write programs to work together.

If I launched the browser first (which resulted in a flash applet being loaded in GMail for the purpose of audio notifications for google talk), Flash grabbed the ALSA device and no WINE application could get at it. Routing both through PulseAudio solved the problem. Mhm. I have now started my SM and loaded the flash http://fun.from.hell.pl/2003-02-18/volare-karaoke.swf. Then i started wine playing tcc1, a mod of Might Magic 6. No problem with the sound. Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202 wine-1.5.28 No pulseaudio. ;) Sounds like they got that problem fixed, then.
