Agreed. Although I would still call that Renoise asking Jack to start, not Jack starting
automagically (which would require Jack knowing it needs to start and thus be running some
way in the first place??) So there should be a configuration file to select between modes
and all other settings. Pretty sure from the commandline you use "jackd [args]"
to start non-dbus version and "jack-control start" to start the dbus version,
both of which already have separate configuration files for default behaviour I believe...
(And obviously that all already assumes it's Jack2 in use.)
Does this API exist and work with both Jack1 and Jack2? This seems a total minefield for
anybody writing Jack-compliant software from all I've read!

Hi,

To clarify that, I mean that it's highly unlikely that Renoise is
using dbus directly - code here would suggest why jackdbus is used
when the auto launch behaviour is used.

And that doesn't seem right! I start any
other Jack application I have
without the Jack server running and I just get no playback! Jack in no way
ever starts itself in my experience. (Mind I haven't played with Renoise
since 2.x) but it definitely seems Renoise must be asking it to start, which
sounds possibly like part of the dbus protocol but I'm in no way sure
There's a flag in the Jack API that an application can pass to control
automatic starting of the server if it isn't running. It's not
related to dbus at all.
