I use my laptop for all sorts of things - browsing, editing development and make use of various programs (I hate the word apps) that produce audio: totem, firefox (YouTube etc.) and I don't see any easy way to avoid pulseaudio. I understood that the versions of pulseaudio from the LAU distribution were fully aware of Jack, and they
have proved to work in most cases.

For the record, the versions of pulseaudio modules installed are:


you need module-jackdbus-detect. the package is pulseaudio-module-jack in debian/ubuntu. You also need to use jackd2 rather than jackd1.

Installed that, but still no sound. Shut down Jackd and it bursts into sound.
Tried to restart Jack but it fails:

(above taken from Qjackctl Messages window)
process 2296 is, of course pulseaudio:

bill 2296 1.1 0.0 861316 8004 ? S<l Sep27 12:34 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog

This was after a reboot of system.
Ran pacmd list-modules which showed module-jackdbus-detect presnt but not module-jack-sink or module-jack-source.
confirmed that I'm running jackd2 not jackd1:

    $ dpkg -S /usr/bin/jackdbus
    jackd2: /usr/bin/jackdbus

When does pulseaudio use module-jackbus-detect to check if jack is running? Do I need to start jack
before pulseaudio?

Tried pacmd load-module module-jack-source and module-jack-sink. They them show up in pacmd list-modules
but still totem hangs when started.
