As this bug causes a delay but doesn't break anything I'm setting the severity to 'minor'. I've had several requests to enable jackd support over time, which is why this uploaded enabled it. Upstream had asked me to enable the feature just before the freeze for Buster, but I considered adding the feature too risky at the time because I had only one upload left before the freeze to close some other bugs, so didn't enable it then. As best I can tell there's no setting to disable Jack in the client, so there's no way right now to avoid the startup delay. I would rather not remove the feature because others use it and want it, so I think the best I can do is open a bug upstream (I opened issue #3822) about the problem so that they can either add a Mumble setting to disable trying to contact jackd in the client, or lower/shorten the attempts to contact jackd to decrease the startup delay. I did test to make sure the client worked before doing the upload BTW (as I always do), but I had started the client from the GUI menu and didn't realize there was a startup delay. I would have done the upload had I known about it, due to the requests for the feature and the minor impact this otherwise. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle [email protected]
