Package: jack
Version: 3.1.1+cvs20050801-6
Severity: minor
Hi!
Jack *seems* (the emphasis is intentional: see below) to be unable
to use cdparanoia as a ripper.
With no ~/.jack3rc, if I try to start jack while having an audio CD
in my /dev/cdrom drive, I get the following error:
$ jack -Q
This is jack 3.1.1 (C)2004 Arne Zellentin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
*warning* You have no standard location set, putting files into the current
directory. Please consider setting base_dir in ~/.jack3rc.
*info* maybe cdparanoia is not installed?
*error* could not read CD's TOC.
But cdparanoia *is* installed:
$ dpkg -l cdparanoia
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold

ii cdparanoia 3a9.8-11 An audio extraction tool for sampling CDs.
On the other hand, selecting cdda2wav as a ripper makes jack to work.
$ jack --ripper cdda2wav --save
This is jack 3.1.1 (C)2004 Arne Zellentin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

*info* 1 options saved in ~/.jack3rc
$ cat ~/.jack3rc
# jackrc-version:31
ripper:cdda2wav
And jack is now able to rip CDs (as long as I have cdda2wav installed,
of course).
I later noticed that cdparanoia is not able to run as non-root
out of the box (see bugs #317694 and #71237). After setting
"appropriate" permissions to /dev/sg0 (owner root.cdrom,
permissions 0660), it began to work with no errors.
And jack is able to use cdparanoia.
As a consequence, the problem I'm reporting is the following:
jack spits out a misleading error message, when cdparanoia fails
(jack claims that cdparanoia could be not installed, while cdparanoia
*is* installed, but simply exits with errors).
Note:
=====
I experienced this awkward behavior on a pure sarge system
(with jack 3.1.1-2).
Then I noticed that many Debian BTS bugs are reported to be fixed in
more recent versions of jack; consequently I backported jack
3.1.1+cvs20050801-6 from sid to sarge and retried, but got the
same behavior.
In summary, this issue seems to be present
in both versions 3.1.1-2 and 3.1.1+cvs20050801-6.
