Yes, generally, although it is possible to keep the pipeline live in gstreamer, a lot of applications don't seem to. It isn't necessarily a problem with the patchbay though because you can use regular expressions - eg. my current patchbay uses - out_jackaudiosink\d*_1 out_jackaudiosink\d*_2 The recently added port connection property on jackaudiosink also allows to do a similar thing from the gstreamer side. Looks like Clementine supports setting the audio sink, but wonder if it allows arbitrary properties on it - https://github.com/clementine-player/Clementine/issues/5378 Best wishes, Neil -- Neil C Smith Artist : Technologist : Adviser http://neilcsmith.net Praxis LIVE - hybrid visual IDE for creative coding - www.praxislive.org Digital Prisoners - interactive spaces and projections - www.digitalprisoners.co.uk _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
