Hi, i'm looking for two simple shell scripts, but since my scripting wizardry is [very] limited, i ask for help here. 1] this one uses jack_lsp and aconnect to find out the current connection state and writes it into a file somewhat like this: ---snip [jack] SuperCollider:out_1 alsa_pcm:playback_1 SuperCollider:out_1 alsa_pcm:playback_2 SuperCollider:out_1 bridge-1183:meter_1 . . . . [alsa] seq24:out0 SuperCollider:in0 . . . 2] The other one rebuilds the connection state from this file [first disconnecting everythignm, then going through above file] I know LASH is probably the way to go for this, but is it finished? is it usable? So i ask if anyone has already hacked up such a script[s] and/or has the wizardry to hack one up? Btw: does anyone know why seq24 doesn't show up in the aconnect -io -l output? flo
