I've found that generally only Jack applications that are made for musicians and producers present themselves as Jack clients all the time when the application is running. Most audio and video players for normal listener/viewer use seem to present an interface to Jack only when they're actually playing a file, and will disappear from Jack's view the rest of the time, even if the program is still there. QJackCtl has a nice way to handle this though. Just watch QJackCtl's Connections window while Rhythmbox is actually playing something, and find out what name it calls itself to Jack while it's actually playing an audio file, then go to QJackCtl's Patchbay window and setup a rule that will automatically route connections from that Jack client to wherever you'd like it to go, whenever it's seen. Click the Activate button, and QJackCtl will always silently watch for a Jack client by that name to appear, and will route it immediately whenever it does. Also, more annoyingly, some programs like this will even present names to Jack that may vary in some way every time they appear. Fortunately, QJackCtl's "Client" field in the window where you edit your connection rules accepts regex in the name, so if there is even so much as a common string that always appears in the Jack-visible name of the program you're trying to capture a connection to, QJackCtl can use regex to help you make a rule that will work with that. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
