Description Anthony Green 2008-07-13 20:34:25 UTC
Description of problem:
The README.Fedora file should be updated to cover how to integrate jackd and
pulseaudio.  Harald Hoyer recently wrote a useful blog entry on this:

http://www.harald-hoyer.de/linux/pulseaudio-and-jackd

Here's the body of his text:

As root

Install the required packages:

# yum install pulseaudio-module-jack alsa-plugins-jack jack-audio-connection-kit 

Add yourself to the pulse-rt and jackuser  group.

# usermod -a -G pulse-rt,jackaudio "<your username>"

Edit /etc/security/limits.conf:

@jackuser - rtprio 20
@jackuser - memlock 4194304
@pulse-rt - rtprio 20
@pulse-rt - nice -20

As your normal user

Create the pulseaudio start file ~/jack.pa:

#!/usr/bin/pulseaudio -nF
#
load-module module-jack-sink
load-module module-jack-source

load-module module-native-protocol-unix
load-module module-volume-restore
load-module module-default-device-restore
load-module module-rescue-streams
load-module module-suspend-on-idle
.ifexists module-gconf.so
.nofail
load-module module-gconf
.fail
.endif
.ifexists module-x11-publish.so
.nofail
load-module module-x11-publish
.fail
.endif

Relog to get the new group permissions and limits.

Kill the current pulseaudio daemon:

$ killall pulseaudio

Start the jack daemon (your parameters may be different):

$ jackd -R -P4 -dalsa -r44100 -p512 -n4 -D -Chw:0 -Phw:0

Start the pulseaudio daemon:

$ pulseaudio -nF ~/jack.pa

Now everything should work :) At least for me it does.
