Hi riveravaldez,
I'm not sure either if this belongs to this list, but since it's been
quite calm in recent times, I try to provide a complet e answer.

Hi, sorry if this is not the place to ask.
I've been trying Jami for video-calls between a couple of laptops with
Arch and Debian Testing.
I've seen that in Arch one can choose JACK as audio server, which is *awesome*.
But when tried to connect its ports (in the 'Connections' window of
qjackctl) I'd found myself unable to. Is this how it's supposed to be
working right now?
No, it's not. Pulseaudio is supposed to be for desktop usage and JACK is
for low-latency audio, mainly used in multimedia production and studios.
I mean: is JACK implemented/usable, at what extent?
Sure, it's completely usable, but the application has to support it! [1]
Or what should I do to use Jami over JACK instead of PulseAudio?,
without PA-bridge, just simple plain JACK.
Jami doesn't seem to support JACK, so you won't be able to use it with
"plain" JACK
As a workaround, you may have a look at pipewire, which is able to
combine Pulseaudio and JACK with low latencies [2]
Thanks a lot in advance for any info. Best regards!
You're always welcome
Best regards
Oliver
