Re: ALSA+Jack system wide audio No pulseaudio or pipewire

Interesting stuff,

but did You notice that ardour pulls pipewire on Excalibur (through libfluidsynth3) end even emacs nowadays does (i'm currently using mg instead, but sometimes a bit more versatility and some gui might be nice as well)?
BTW: the installed pipewire had prevented some stuff from playing audio because pipewire had made the default audio devide unavailable even when it was not running.

So today i spent some hours to clean up my notebook (initially pure alsa+quasmixer, possibly also jack).
Moreover i am setting up an XFCE based setup for my (NON-Tech) friend, and for something like that Your project will hopefully really helpful.

Re: ALSA+Jack system wide audio No pulseaudio or pipewire

Another question/suggestion: optionally integrating some kind of loudnes correction? Something like https://github.com/dpapavas/alsaloudness ?

Re: ALSA+Jack system wide audio No pulseaudio or pipewire

Thanks for the suggestion and the link, I'll have a look. I haven't tried Excalibur or Ardour. They both look good.

This is the latest branch the chat bots working on https://github.com/rations/jack-bridge/ … k-features

Incorporated the features in the qjackctl gui. Can now start and stop jack-bridge from qjackctl and use the setup feature to change sample rate, frames/period and periods/buffer. It should work the same as qjackctl does, you can change frames/period live but the others you need to press start again and reload whatever you had open.
