I tried PulseAudio yesterday. I have 2 soundcards, the one from my motherboard and a layla3g. I use to play sounds with amarok on the layla3g buit when i want to launch jackd i have to stop amarok. I wanted to launch jack at the sart of the session and still be able to play sounds on the layla3g with amarok. So i compiled xine with PulseAudio USE flag to see if PulseAudio can do anything about this. And i'am glad to see that it's working quite well. With PulseAudio volume control, i can route amarok sound to the embedded sound cards or the jack server. Changes are saved. I can quit amarok and if i launch it again it still uses the jack output. Let see what i 'have done. I activated the realtime option in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf. I made a custom default.pa in ~/.pulse/ using the one in /etc/pulse and i added this line: load-module module-jack-sink channels=2 channel_map=front-left,front-right In QjackCtl, i launch pulseaudio after the jackd's start. finally i made a custom gnome session launcher for QjackCtl. There is only minor issues. I tried pulse audio device chooser but it seems it crash PulseAudio when i change default sink or source. Now i would like to launch Pulse audio like a standard sound server or a system daemon and load the module jack-sink when i start jack but i cant manage to achieve this. There is a pactl command line wich loads or unload modules. This way i could restart jack without restarting Pulseaudio as well. But when i do # pactl load-module module-jack-sink I get an error So if one of you have have an idea...
