In actuality, one could say you're arguing against delving further, but this seems pointless to me. module-jackdubs-autodetect appears to exist for the puropose of desktop integration; if it is to detect ports and automatically map connections at startup, why should it not also keep track? > > I'm not saying that the module is deficient because it doesn't track changes, only that it'd be nice if it did, should David wish to work on it further. Its certainly a corner-case, afterall. In my position, yes, the problem is not PulseAudio at all: That JACK still, after all this time, cannot handle suspend/resume is obviously not an issue for PA to solve. Furthermore, I only use a stereo pair and the FFADO driver forces to presentation of of every channel available in hardware, to which module-jackdbus-autodetect then automagically maps. I'm still learning here, but I've come to relaise that I really should be scripting the patching entirely and not using module-jackdbus-autodetect! For those sound cards which pulseaudio 2.0 or later version does not support (e.g. ice1712, hdspm, FireWire ,...) Can user specify an exclude list in udev-detect module instead of using dbus ? If is meaningless for pulseaudio to hold/reserve those unsupported sound cards -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
