[LAU] jackd1 and pulseaudio

[info at bandshed.net]

Hi,

Do you explicitly require PulseAudio? Just wondering, for example AV
Linux uses JACK1 without PulseAudio at all, A combination of ALSA
Loopback and an 'aloop-daemon' are auto-launched with JACK (via
Qjackctl) and anything using JACK or ALSA (including browsers and
media players etc.) is routed through the selected running JACK
device, this eliminates the need for PulseAudio for anything except
Skype which explicitly requires it now. Just curious if something like
this would suit your needs, or whether you have a specific intended
purpose for PulseAudio.

Best Regards, Glen

 Hi list,
 I'm running a new Arch Linux system now and have come up against the 
 Pulse/JACK dilemma.

 The Arch Wiki suggests several alternatives, the old, the new and the
new new 
 way. The latter being only suitable for JACKD with DBUS support,
which I don't 
 have. As far as I'm aware, the DBUS version only works with X
running, which I 
 don't want, all the time.

 Unfortunately, the Arch Wiki isn't accessible right now, so I can't
post the 
 proper link. But the described metho uses shell scripts setting
PulseAudio 
 sink and source modules to JACK and default sources and sinks to
jack_in and 
 jack_out respectively.

 I start JACK through a self-written systemd service. Should I start
PulseAudio 
 by default as well? Can such a shell script with Pulse settings be
executed at 
 startup as well?

 I'm sorry to raise the topic again, but I'm so very new to that snake
pit.

 I'd be grateful for any tips, reading material for that situation.

 Best wishes,

 Jeanette
