I presumed that this would be the case - that there's a reasonable explanation for missing this config. option. So I went ahead with my version of a work-around: I renamed /bin/jackd to /bin/jackd-hidden. Your method is less brutal and more reasonable, though, so I think I'll switch to it. > > For example, you had: > > /usr/bin/jackd -dalsa -dhw:2 -r48000 -p1024 -n2 -S > > Change to something like: > > foo/usr/bin/jackd -dalsa -dhw:2 -r48000 -p1024 -n2 -S > > Since foo/usr/bin/jackd is an invalid path, it will fail, and no more > audio server. > > I suppose we could consider making some config option that would > prevent Rosegarden from even attempting to start JACK, but I'd really > rather not bother unless there is a lot of demand.

I won't argue against that. If this was expensive commercial software, I'd feel I have a right to ask; but it's not, and since there appears to be some good work going on to RG these days, I don't want to risk slowing it down for an unnecessary request.
