Using the following guide I have managed to configure my system (Ubuntu 10.04) so that jack restarts PulseAudio so that sound from PulseAudio clients is routed through jack. It works marvellously.
See http://sync-signal.com/2009/12/configuring-jack-and-pulseaudio-on- ubuntu-9-10/ In summary: 1. Install pulseaudio-module-jack 2. Copy the default.pa configuration file and edit the new version to only load the two jack modules 3. Configure client.conf so that pulse audio does not automatically restart 4. Update the jack startup/shutdown commands to kill PulseAudio and restart it with the custom PulseAudio configuration file These are the four commands I used in the jack configuration dialogue:- Execute script on Startup: pulseaudio -k Execute script after Startup: pulseaudio -DnF ~/.pulse/pulsejack.pa Execute script on Shutdown: pulseaudio -k Execute script after Shutdown: killall jackd; pulseaudio --start (This differs slightly from the guide, due to 'pulse-session' not existing, so I replaced it with 'pulseaudio --start') Now we have a working solution, we need to determine how we can get Ubuntu to work like this out of the box. 1. pulseaudio-module-jack could be marked as a recommended dependency of jackd. 2. A default pulse-jack configuration file could be included somewhere on the system 3. This is the tricky part, as I don't think disabling PulseAudio's auto-restart feature will be a suitable option. 4. Change the default jack startup/shutdown settings (the default settings are invalid anyway, as it attempts to run 'artsshell' which is not installed and so leaves an error in the message log). So please report back if this solution works, and please also let us know if you think of a better solution than disabling the auto-restart feature of PulseAudio. Then lets see if we can find a suitable proposal for getting this to work out of the box! -- Pulseaudio not working while jackd is running https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/480103 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
