for this use case I would like to suggest to use a native jack command
line player. There are several options available, e.g., jackplayrec or
tascar_jackio (both published by the same company as openMHA), or
jack-play from jacktools.

Example with tascar_jackio:

tascar_jackio soundfile.wav MHA:in_{1,2,3}

(the {1,2,3} is shell expansion, you might to write it explicitly).

Best regards,

Giso
