This actually makes sense. Conceptually, jack runs on top of alsa and essentially locks access to alsa. Jack is merely a way for audio apps to share and route data between themselves, the hardware, with low latency. The catch is that the applications need to be specifically written to take advantage of jack. I would be more than surprised if flash supported jack, as it has only recently supported alsa (oh the joys of proprietary software). Basically I only run jack when I am running the apps that make use of it (ardour, rosegarden, etc.). Otherwise I just use alsa by itself for things like youtube, watching movies (smplayer or xine) or listening to music (amarok). |> You may also use alsaconf to configure alsa to use your main sound |> device, and arts will follow and so will all the applications bar |> those that try to address the hardware device directly. Cheers | | OK, tried that...will see if it worked. | Alsaconf does nothing for jack. If youtube works when jack is not running, then it seems to me that sound is working.
