Jack1 is still occasionally running clients in the wrong order, and while that may not affect most users it is a real PITA for me. If such a fundamental problem still isn't resolved more than 10 years after it was first reported that doesn't inspire trust. Apart from that, Archlinux moved Jack1 to the AUR, so there's no binary package for it anymore. > Then I use the following script to launch applications that i want to test > with pipewire: > > ``` > #!/bin/bash > PW_SRC=$HOME/src/pipewire/ > export SPA_PLUGIN_DIR=$PW_SRC/builddir/spa/plugins > export SPA_DATA_DIR=$PW_SRC/spa/plugins > export PIPEWIRE_MODULE_DIR=$PW_SRC/builddir/src/modules > export PIPEWIRE_CONFIG_DIR=$PW_SRC/builddir/src/daemon > export ACP_PATHS_DIR=$PW_SRC/spa/plugins/alsa/mixer/paths > export ACP_PROFILES_DIR=$PW_SRC/spa/plugins/alsa/mixer/profile-sets > export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PW_SRC/builddir/pipewire-jack/src/ > export > PATH=$PW_SRC/builddir/pipewire-jack/src/:$PW_SRC/builddir/src/tools:$PATH > exec "$@" > ``` > > e.g pw-src-env pw-jack Ardour8 All that to just run one application ? And isn't this using PW as a Jack emulation ? That is not what I want to do. All Jack apps should just use Jack. PW is there only for those that for whatever reason do no support Jack natively - most browsers, video conference apps, etc. > > 7.

You may have misunderstood (7). If the hardware changes I have no problem with having to modify the config and restart everything. All I meant is that I'm not interested in having the entire system automagically switching to another sound card when some USB device is plugged in or out, or anything similar.
