:
*Added the --meterbridge / -mb option, which automatically
starts Steve Harris' meterbridge (http://plugin.org.uk/meterbridge/)
and constantly connects them to the same ports as jack_capture
is connected to.
Nice - this will save me the hassle of starting meterbridge manually when
setting up for recording and having to make sure that meterbridge's channels
actually match jack_capture's channels.
Thanks for the update!

Great to hear!
Do you need an option to select a different
meter type than "vu" when starting meterbridge?
Also, have you looked at the new default
built-in console "vu" meter? I personally think
its more than good enough.
I wasn't sure whether I should show a dB meter, or just
show the linear float
0.0-1.0 value. Since I'm more used to pure float,
and that it was straight forward to implement, I chose
the latter, but maybe someone really would prefer
a dB meter instead?

Hi
Do you need an option to select a different
meter type than "vu" when starting meterbridge?
It would probably be nice. The VUs look good but they take up a fair amount
of real estate and trying to monitor 8 at once can be a bit tricky. In
addition, one can miss clipping with a VU (although this can be addressed to
a point with the addition of a clip indicator). I normally use "dpm" for my
purposes. However, everyone has their own preferences and different
situations call for different metering, so an option to select this is
probably the way to go.

I haven't yet since I'm away from my audio computer. I intended to check it
out though since it sounds interesting.

Personally I'd prefer a dB value since that's what I'm used to dealing with.
Again, having an option to select between linear float and dB would keep
everyone happy.

Yeah, it makes sense. I stole some code from meterbridge to convert from
linear to dB, and have just uploaded jack_capture V0.9.12, which also contains
an option to change meterbridge meter type.

Sounds good. Thanks for this - it should make some worthwhile features even
more useful. I've just grabbed 0.9.12 and will give it a go as soon as I
can.

Perhaps download 0.9.13 as well since I forgot to update --help in
0.9.12, plus that I have added peak indicators to 0.9.13. ;-)
