that indeed looks like a solution! But I would need to know if jack_capture is recording

asking myself how to do that since I couldn’t find that in the help file.
A little bit hacky, but you can use the --hook* functions to make
jack_capture run arbitrary commands when starting and stopping:
"
[kjetil@localhost jack_capture]$ more hookstart.sh
#!/bin/sh
touch /tmp/jack_capture_is_recording
[kjetil@localhost jack_capture]$ more hookstop.sh
#!/bin/sh
rm -f /tmp/jack_capture_is_recording
"
And if you run jack_capture with the arguments
--hook-close ./hookstop.sh --hook-timing ./hookstart.sh
The file /tmp/jack_capture_is_recording will exist when recording.
