[LAU] Clients Can't Disconnect from Jack

[Brandon Hale]

Hello all,

I recently switched my machine over to using Pipewire+wireplumber to try 
it out. Long story short, I tried out Pipewire, found that I had lots of 
xruns when using pro-audio software, then decided that I should switch 
back to jack2+pulse to get my audio work done. However, I have switched 
back now, by uninstalling pipewire packages and reinstalling pulse and 
jack2 packages, and now whenever I run jack and close a jack 
application, the jack application's gui freezes and it seems the 
applications can't disconnect from jack. As an added bonus, fluidsynth 
software can't start anymore. This includes qsynth and ace fluidsynth in 
ardour. Whenever I start a fluidsynth-based application, it just freezes 
and can't seem to connect to jack (they don't show up in qjackctl's 
connections).

Does anyone here have any ideas on what may be happening. None of this 
was a problem before I switched over to pipewire to test things. I 
wonder if there is a configuration file somewhere that is causing this 
that maybe pipewire set. I use Artix Linux runit as my distro, so 
everything is up-to-date.

Thank you very much for your help or advice,

Brandon Hale
