I should have added, start jackdbus with jack_control rather than using jackd. Make sure jackd is not already running. jackdbus comes with jackd2. If you have already run jackd from command line, then jack_control start will start it with the same command line. Changing the backend may take more than one line using jack_control... Jack_control has no man page and --help doesn't work either :P Just type jack_control with no command for all the help there is. If jack is started as jackdbus then if pulse has module-jackdbus-detect running, it will connect automatically. Otherwise you will have to load module-jack-sink and/or module-jack-source after both pulse and jackd are running. (if you are used to qjackctl, it talks to jackdbus by default) > > > -- > Len Ovens > www.ovenwerks.net
