Subject: Re: [LAU] Jack users - how many channels do you want with PA
module-jackdbus-detect?
I happen to agree. If there are x PA devices on my MOBO, I want to see
x of them in JACK.
Not sure if we're talking about the same thing here. I wasn't suggesting
we make devices not show. Only that the module connecting PA to jack would
be stereo by default.
I don't typically think of "stereo", but, just 2 channels that happen
to be left and right.
I don't pretend to know about PA. I'm guessing, from your question,
that PA has the concept of pairing two JACK sinks/sources as a stereo
sink/source?
Are you saying you would be using jack through you firewire device to get
surround, instead of what I would assume you have, an onboard device that
also has surround support directly with PA?
Why use jack for that?
Different config for different things:
Audio source (5.1, stereo, youtube) >>>> firewire >>>>
tri-amp'd 1kw system
or:
Audio source (whatever) >>>>> mobo devices (say headphones)
