http://jackaudio.org/faq/ https://github.com/jackaudio/jackaudio.github.com/wiki Also, you can try the Linux Audio Users mailing list. > My understanding of Jack (and please correct me if I'm wrong), is that > it's like being able to patchcord together all sorts of software > sound processor boxes, in whatever configuration I want.

There are two version of jackd, the JACK routing daemon, jackd1 and jackd2. They differ slightly, but both work fine. There are a few wrinkles if you want to use Pulse Audio *and* JACK. And now a brief plug: if you want recording, playback, mixing, effects processing etc. and don't need video, the most lightweight and powerful tool is probably Ecasound. The easiest way to use Ecasound is Nama. ;-) The Debian package for Nama is out of date, but it does install from CPAN using 'cpanm Audio::Nama' or 'cpan Audio::Nama'. If you want to mix audio and MIDI, and need a kitchen sink of features, other apps (Ardour, Qtractor, Rosegarden) may be easier.
