Package: jackd Version: 0.118+svn3796-1 Hi,
jackd in lenny includes an init script /etc/init.d/jackd, while jackd in sid does not (see bugs #527642, #528851). I understand from those bug logs that this is intended, and users or programs are supposed to start jackd themselves as needed, using the same command line the init script used. Okay. But how was I supposed to learn this? Probably there should be some mention of this in NEWS.Debian.gz, to help others upgrading from lenny to squeeze. Ideally, such an entry would explain how to use jack on a system that also includes programs using libasound. One way used to be to enable the init script so jackd is always running, and then tell pulseaudio to use jack as a backend. Now, should one kill the system sound server and any applications that need it before using jack? I guess so: if I understand correctly, something like that is what the Fedora jack maintainers recommend. Some of their documentation could help with this. (Also, I don’t think /etc/default/jackd is needed any more.) Regards, Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
