In cases
where it might connect on startup, must it?
no. again it only connects automatically iif a (default) server is
found responsive to open qjackctl as one of its clients.
It must be even more exclusive. I have a responsive default server
running and qjackctl does not connect to it.
Please define "responsive to open qjackctl";
It certainly responds to ardour2, mplayer, jack-rack, patchage...
maybe i messed "responsive" by "responsible"
anyway, the said general default jack server name is literally "default".
if you start the server for instance via `jackd -n fooserver ...` then
this server in particular will be identified by "fooserver". then you
will only connect to it as a client if either your application program
calls jack_client_open("barclient", JackServerName, "fooserver") or
you
have previously set JACK_DEFAULT_SERVER=fooserver to override the
default name (which is, uh, "default").
similarly, if this `jackd -n fooserver ...` server instance is already
found running, qjackctl will connect to it iif it's launched via
`qjackctl -n fooserver` or JACK_DEFAULT_SERVER=fooserver is properly set.
nb. when qjackctl attaches on startup to an already running jack server,
it doesn't give a damn nor matter to which device preset you have
configured within qjackctl settings. look, a matching jackd server name
is found already active and most probably it has been started with some
other means than qjackctl, so devices may differ.
this is getting a bit OT here, but..
in my case it does not; qjackctl is already running and started jackd in
the first place, it disconnected from that jackd when changing the
driver-backend.
Then I press "start" in qjackctl again and it launches a new server
instead of re-connecting. The server-name has not changed (it's still
'default').
Reproduce:
use qjackctl to start a jackdmp on alsa hw:0
# jack_control dps device hw:1
# jack_control sm
qjackctl disconnects
Press start in qjackctl -> it launches a 2nd jackd (on hw:0).
What works is to disconnect qjackctl (but keep jackd running) before
calling jack_control. Switch the Qjackctl Preset to match the hw:1
and "press start" in qjackctl after the `jack_control sm`.
Hence the patch I sent you earlier to that makes qjackctl
react on DBUS org.rncbc.qjackctl.loadpreset int32:<preset>
