I don't use either Skype or Pulse. I have found a hint now, that though pulseaudio is not directly responsible, something that comes from the pulse-package *could* be involved: http://git.0pointer.de/?p=reserve.git;a=blob;f=reserve.txt Here we have the ghastly ReserverDevice1 thing. As I read this, the problem is caused by 2 things: 1.) the priority of the process, that tries to start Jack is lower than the one that has a grip upon the device at startup. How this priority is exactly set I do not know, I have raised the realtime-priority for Jack from 10 to 66 - simply this is the only whatever priority I see a way to set. 2.) Lennart Poettering recommends to spawn a usefull message that could help the user to find out, what is happening: Optionally the owner of the device access may export a few 172 properties with a bit of descriptive information about 173 itself. This is supposed to be useful to show a nice message 174 to the user: "Application %s is blocking device %s. Please 175 close this application or make sure it closes the access to 176 that device." with ApplicationName and ApplicationDeviceName 177 filled in. whoever is in charge have chosen just to spawn: "A handler is already registered" which have made me search for about 3 days now only to find the *potential* reason. And still I am far from a sane solution.... best regards and thank you all for your help.
