What is this promiscuous mode you speak of?!?!? Looking thru the jack2 commit
logs, I see that it has been part of JACK since Oct 2014 or longer
("promiscuous-v2" committed just before the tag "1.9.12" was added)?!
This is awesome! It appears that version 1.9.12 is shipped with CentOS 8, so
with any luck and some time maybe this long-standing JACK issue with perms and
users will be put to bed.
Thanks for this update Aaron.
Fred, do you have thoughts on this?
Thanks!
