Jack usually comes with command-line utilities jack_connect and jack_disconnect, which you can easily script. To see what ports are available, you can parse the output of jack_lsp, which is the quick-and-dirty approach Nama uses. There is jack-plumbing, a simple utility/daemon which will make connections based on a config file, jack.plumbing. There is also a python module that looks like it might be helpful, although I wonder if it can connect arbitrary ports. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/JACK-Client/0.4.1 cheers, Joel > Worik > > -- > Why is the legal status of chardonnay different to that of cannabis? > root@xxxxxxxxx 021-1680650, (03) 4821804 > Aotearoa (New Zealand) > I voted for love > > _______________________________________________ > Linux-audio-user mailing list > Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user -- Joel Roth _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
