Though I'm not using jack at the moment, I plan to. Here's a suggestion for a change to improve jack environment reliability. It sounds kludgey because it is: a RECONNECT TO AUDIO button, like Ardour has.
Currently if mixxx loses it's connection to jackd, it dies a horrible death, and requires a quit/restart and then load playlists etc to get back to that point. Bad news when live. Lots of things can cause jackd problems while running, and if you have a complicated set of patches running the likelihood of a hiccup increases. Currently at mixxx startup, if the audio subsystem given in previously-configured audio settings are not available, mixxx presents the prefs page. That's nice for first time startup, but chances are once you've used it a bit the audio config you had set is the one you want, and the problem is elsewhere; if I need to change it I know to go to preferences. I can see how a change like this could affect startup flow; maybe a "lock audio settings" button that defaults off? The RECONNECT TO JACK button (reconnect to selected audio) could be buried in the Prefs page, but with a keyboard shortcut. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
