If there is something already written on this topic, please forgive me, but I've searched archives, I've found all kinds of outdated information, I've read Wayne's Debian guide (which doesn't quite match up with CentOS) and I'm still running into brick walls.
I had been planning to avoid JACK because everything I have read says it's frustrating, but it's becoming clear that if I want my metadata with my stream I should stream and playout from the same box. I'm interested in trying out Glass Coder to do this. So I'm trying to learn JACK so I can get to that step. Here's the setup: Dual core workstation with the Rivendell appliance DVD. RD updated to current (2.9). I installed QJackCtl. Currently I have the built-in soundcard (HDA Intel) only on this machine. I have gone into RDAlsaConfig and moved the HDA entries out of the Active box. I have gone into RD Admin/JACK Settings and checked Start JACK Server. On the JACK Command line I have /usr/bin/jackd -R -dalsa -dhw:0 -r4800 -p256 -n3 (which from what I can tell from documentation are the arguments that go along with the sound card). When I start any Rivendell application, I get meters and audio plays, but I can't hear it. When I look in Audio Resources, I see under Audio Adapters, card ) is JACK with 8 inputs and 8 outputs. Audio Ports reports that card 0 is JACK. This makes me think that JACK is running, but nothing is patched to where I can hear it. So, I fire up QJackCtl to use the patchbay. It doesn't think JACK is running and says it can't start up. I feel like I'm getting close, but I'm not sure what I should poke at next. Brain trust, where have I gone wrong? Thanks, John
