In my experience, the order of channels in jack are stable enough to use this simple channels remapping trick: mplayer -channels 4 -af channels=4:4:0:0:1:3:2:1:3:2 -ao jack:port=ambdec AJH_eight-positions.amb
FWIW, while looking at mplayer code it occured to me that - 1. My suggestion in my last post to make mplayer sort by name is silly and would be wrong for higher orders where channel number matters (I can't reply to my own post because of the stupid way gmail works). 2. Rather than taking time to extend mplayer to take input names, though useful, I could just use qjackctl patch bay. With that I can set up connections how I want and handle all the variety of higher orders (though I did notice an 8 channel limit in the mplayer code - easily changed). So if I did need to use mplayer for many different types of .amb I would just set up different mappings in patchbay, load my settings on starting jack and then with recent (older doesn't have noconnect) mplayer do something like - mplayer -channels 4 -ao jack:name=MP4:noconnect some-bformat.amb mplayer -channels 7 -ao jack:name=MP7:noconnect some-3rdhoriz.amb etc. MP4 and MP7 being names used in my patchbay config the right connections will be made when mplayer starts. _______________________________________________ Sursound mailing list Sursound@music.vt.edu https://mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/listinfo/sursound
