Description Kevin Kofler 2007-12-23 18:24:16 UTC

Description of problem:
There is no pulseaudio-module-jack in Fedora 8. This has been reenabled in 
Rawhide, but not F8. This is all the more annoying because JACK doesn't work 
with PA's ALSA plugin because JACK's ALSA backend requires mmap. As a result, 
there is no way to start JACK without suspending PA.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pulseaudio-0.9.7-0.17.svn20071017.fc8

Comment 1 Kevin Kofler 2007-12-26 02:26:48 UTC

Actually, _starting_ them both is not the problem, JACK has a "dummy" driver, 
but getting them to both actually output sound is.

Comment 2 Kevin Kofler 2008-01-17 11:43:30 UTC

Getting JACK to output to PA is still a major PITA, but here's how to:
- in qjackctl, configure JACK for the dummy sound device and start it
- in pacmd, load-module module-jack-source
- in qjackctl, connect your JACK application to the PulseAudio JACK Source
- in a terminal, run: parec -d jack_in | pacat (Is there really no better way 
to echo a source to a sink in PA?)
- enjoy the half-second latency ;-)
