I have in the past used something like a jackstart script in a headless situation before, which started dbus and exported it's info so jackdbus would work. It is actually easier to use: dbus-launch screen Then use screen as your CLI session manager. jack_control can then be used to run jack and change settings on the fly (like latency?). Audio applications can be run in other screen terminals to use jack... and if you really want to go crazy you can throw pulse at the mix... though I am really not sure what pulse supporting applications you hope to find that are CLI (I tested it with paplay, but there is no gain using that over jack.play). -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
