This is true. The other option is to use the audio routing app JACK ( https://jackaudio.org/). JACK enables sharing of audio resources between higher-level applications (and is supported in Rivendell). The Rivendell wiki has some information about implementing JACK on a Rivendell computer. In my opinion the current best practice is to let Rivendell start the JACK service daemon and use the JACK Clients entries in RDAdmin->Manage Hosts-><host>->JACK Settings. One significant caveat when using JACK and Rivendell 3.X is that jackd(1) MUST run as Linux user `root`. Previous Rivendell versions could work around this constraint, but it's not possible without code changes in Rivendell 3.X. This means that all applications using JACK must also run as Linux user `root`. This, to me, is another significant reason to use Rivendell computers only for Rivendell applications, and use different computers for general audio applications. -- ~David Klann broadcasttool.com Broadcast Tool & Die ∴ The Power of & _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list [email protected] http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
