Thanks Renato. But what I'm trying to do is use the "Script" in Setup to
make QjackCtl automatically load a certain preset without me having to
do it. The reason I want to do this is because: 1) I have QjackCtl set
to start automatically on system startup and I also have QjackCtl set to
"start jack server" straight away when loaded. At the moment it
automatically loads the last preset used, so if I've been using
"firewire" and then I shut my computer down, when I start it again
QjackCtl loads automatically and tries to load the "firewire"
driver/preset even when the firewire isn't connected, so I get loads of
error messages. And 2) whilst studying the options in QjackCtl (I'm new
to Linux audio and excited) I noticed that there seems to be the
facility to make it load specified presets automatically and I wanted to
try it, but it doesn't seem to work and I don't know if I'm getting the
"meta-symbol arguments" right (I'm totally new to them).
This relates to an earlier request/thread I made in LAU. It's not a big
deal if I can't do this as it just means I need to always remember to
manually switch QjackCtl to my "alsa" preset whenever I turn my firewire
device off so that it doesn't ever try and load "firewire" when the
device isn't there, like you said. I just hate error messages and I like
automation - some kind of Obsessive Compulsive thing I have maybe ;). It
just seems like QjackCtl offers an easy solution to my problem and I'm
not using it right.
Hmm, maybe make a script that checks to see if firewire device is
connected. If true, it starts JACK with the firewire backend, otherwise,
it starts with your ALSA backend. Maybe you could run that script on
startup.
