[LAU] Giving JACKD a device NAME on the commandline

Hello everyone! I just tried to give JACK a real cardname on the commandline instead of the hw:0. Reason, there are several soundcards in that machine, including USB devices. I looked at /proc/asound/cards and copied the name "M1010LT". And then I ran this command: jackd --timeout 4500 -R -d alsa -d M1010LT -r 48000 -p 128 -z shaped JACK told me, that M1010LT caused an ALSA open error, since the device was unknown. This is JACK1. JACK is run by a user with the necessary rights and limits set. With -d hw:3 it works. Whilst I'm here, I might as well ask, what the easiest way would be to automatically start JACK, when the system boots? If that helps, the system is running a graphical session and I believe, this could be the case constantly. So if there's a typical solution involving that, it could be a way. Thanks for any help on either of those. Warmly yours julien ---------------------------------------- http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.html
