Do you or anyone else have a specific reasoning for using only the jackdbus
version?  Is is just because the person who wrote the code wrote it to work
with jackdbus?

Is this something that could be handled in a different way to give legacy
jack users this feature?

I don't use Jack myself (anymore), but from what I understand, this
feature is tied to jackdbus, because D-Bus is the protocol Jack and PA
use to communicate with each other. When PA is running and Jack is
started, Jack can't force PA to release the device, if PA doesn't want
to cooperate (well, it could use the "kill" command or something...).
PA cooperates by listening for device release requests using D-Bus, so
Jack has to use D-Bus too. And apparently jackdbus is the only
implementation that does that.



Hi,

So is the only way to communicate with pulse other than brute force kill or "pasuspender" to use the dbus protocol?



Cheers.
