Alright I've decided to give the RPi/Linux/Jack route another try... I have to say my progress is pretty slow though... the Mac Mini route still looks very enticing. Right now, I'm trying to understand this suggested line: jackd -I alsa-playback:zalsa_in/-dhw:CODEC_1 -dalsa -dhw:PCH -r48000 -p1024 -n2 When I look up the man page for jackd at https://manpages.debian.org/testing/jackd1/jackd.1.en.html, this is the explanation for the -I parameter: /-I, --internal-client client-spec Load client-name as an internal client. May be used multiple times. The form of client-spec can be any of the following: client-path client-name:client-path client-name:client-path/init-string client-path/init-string The first form will cause jackd to attempt to load the client from a shared object named "client-path" with appropriate suffixes appended. If "client-path" is absolute, jackd will use that (adding a platform appropriate suffix for a shared object). If it is not absolute, jackd will look for "client-path" (with an appropriate suffix) in the same location that drivers and other JACK add-ons are located. The second form provides "client-name" as the desired name for the client once loaded, in addition to the "client-path". The third form provides an "init-string" in addition to a client name and path, which will be passed to the client's initialization function. The final form does not specify the client name, but does include the path to the client's shared object file and an initializations string. When invoking JACK from the shell, remember to quote the argument to -I if it includes spaces. / which I find really hard to relate to /alsa-playback:zalsa_in/-dhw:CODEC_1/ Also, I have been unsuccesful in instantiating zita-j2a by running a script from qjackctl, even when executing that script manually does work. Can anyone please point me to a page where I can learn more about how to make a setup where Pure Data runs automatically after boot, connecting to more than one audio interface? -- Sent from: http://linux-audio.4202.n7.nabble.com/linux-audio-user-f5.html _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
