i'd rather ask the entire jack-dev crew. while paul has written the original jack server, he is no longer the main authore of jackd2. > ~$ pd-extended > > 4 seconds trying to get that there's no jackd running...

So why is Pd-ext trying to start it ? most likely because you *did* specify to start "-jack" in your preferences. but seriously: i don't think this is a very good example (most likely you were trying to prove that my claim that "pd should not try to be too clever" was incorrect in many cases). what i did forget in my post is: yes, i would like to have an "-audio auto" switch, that will try to get *any* audio backend (e.g. jack, alsa, oss, dummy; in that order) i even think that this should be the default (e.g. when you start Pd with no arguments and uninitialized settings). but if the user specifies a given audio backend (e.g. "-audio jack", or "-jack" as we currently call it), then Pd should not do something else. those who don't like the default "any" config, could specify multiple backends, e.g. "-audio alsa,oss" fgvjmasdr IOhannes -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Icedove - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlHKtPkACgkQkX2Xpv6ydvRN3QCg4pfezb+PkFOqbq/iIpT7Q/lg N4QAoN9FtfaPg24pgpocCWjErv1UFwkb =QpoS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
