Okay, but is this a problem? Jack was designed to let applications talk to each other like they would to hardware (and let them talk to hardware). ALSA was designed to let applications flexibly use the hardware. So in your case, you want applications to speak to each other so Jack is the way to go. Supposed, you want several applications going to Brutefir, and Brutefir go to the soundcard. So just set up Brutefir to connect to the alsa_playback:X ports. Then start your other applications. They should create some more ports like this with two instances of Pd started: $ jack_lsp alsa_pcm:capture_1 alsa_pcm:capture_2 alsa_pcm:playback_1 alsa_pcm:playback_2 pure_data_0:input0 pure_data_0:input1 pure_data_0:output0 pure_data_0:output1 pure_data_1:input0 pure_data_1:input1 pure_data_1:output0 pure_data_1:output1 Now you can connect wildly with jack_connect or the qjackctl GUI. Just do things like: $ jack_connect pure_data_0:output1 alsa_pcm:playback_2 $ jack_connect pure_data_1:output0 alsa_pcm:playback_2 $ jack_connect alsa_pcm:capture_2 pure_data_0:input0 Or however you like it. You can connect more than one port to other ports. ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__
