That is correct, only jack >= 1.9.3 is good for that, and only if compiled with the --dbus option (for the full jackdbus experience) or --dbus --classic for just the pulseaudio soundcard reservation logic. While acquiring the card from pulseaudio works on Fedora 11 (starting jackd "steals" the card form pulseaudio and all pa streams are paused), the release code in pulseaudio is not working or is incomplete (don't know which). It will be fixed in fc12... (and/or is fixed currently in svn, I think). For now I'm using a script that replaces the jackd executable to suspend and unsuspend the pulseaudio streams. Seems to work fine. -- Fernando > But this doesn't matter as I don't have any audio processes running but > jackd still can't get access to the default device. > > My experience leaves a lot to be desired considering that Fedora 11 is > the latest and greatest version with advanced system config from Lennart > himself and I still can't do something as simple as start jackd. > > I'm not pointing any fingers.
