<html><head></head><body>dear community, thank you so much for all your ideas and hints! by now, I have got it working in the desired fashion by just using qjackctl as has been explained by Rui Nuno Capela some days ago and again yesterday by Christopher Arndt, i. e. simply by using a script within qjackctl and its patchbay/connections manager. the reason why it didn't work for me was just that I am not so familiar with the syntax, I didn't know about the '&'. but now it works very well. thanks again, have a good day you all! christoph <div class="gmail_quote">Am 31.
