Where do I find this wrapper script? I use ubuntu studio hardy on amd64, and am just starting to play with jack, ardour, hydrogen, and the constellation of stuff out there. so far it seems that i have to kill pulseaudio from the command line (ps thru grep to find then kill via pid); start ardour, jack, et al, and when done I seem to have to LOG OUT and BACK IN to get pulse audio back. Yech. Not to mention the whole log on/off processes take way too long to begin with. This script sounds like a headache saver; how do I get it and use it? Thanks in advance, Tim In Response To: Hi! I had a problem with ardour/jack/pulseaudio in Ubuntu Hardy and I was told to take it to the mailing list. I cc'd parties that may be interested. Please ignore this mail if you are not. The related bugs in Launchpad are: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ardour/+bug/220576 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214256 The problem is that ardour as installed by "aptitude install ardour" doesn't work. Recording is possible but playback doesn't work. I was able to resolve the issue by manually starting jack with "jackd -d alsa". My only concern is a working ardour after installing. For me it is extremely annoying to have manually fiddling with jackd. I also do not care about latency or similar stuff. I also imagine a new user (read composer/musician) to linux who immediately returns to windows after playback in ardour doesn't work. Also it is not possible to use for example mplayer and ardour at the same time. I was told that configuration of jack is a non-trivial thing to do because a professional user normally has a second sound card and jack has to be configured to use that (professional) equipment. My opinion is that it should be possible to provide a _default_ configuration where jackd connects to pulseaudio (this is what module-jack-source is for, right?). Let me repeat my two concerns: 1. Ardour in Ubuntu Hardy doesn't work out of the box 2. It is not possible to use mplayer and ardour at the same time I believe it is possible manually fix this up but I have still the opinion that it should be possible to provide a simple default configuration. So please convince me that I'm wrong (and it isn't possible to have a working ardour on a notebook) or tell me how this can be resolved. You put so much hard work into ardour/jack/pulseaudio that it should not fail because of a small configuration mistake.
