Did the Jack

I love jack. Especially the routing flexibility.
But I just switched one of my station loggin boxes from rotter which uses
jack to darkice because I wanted to go from loggin one station on the box
to loggin two.
The box is a 1u rack mount machine with no onboard sound card. I hooked
up two different usb sound cards to it. To do what I wanted with jack and
rotter, I would have needed to be able to run two instances of jack on
the box at the same time and have rotter designed to deal with that
possibility. (Hmmm, I just had an idea. I will hold off until after I ask
the list though.)
So, does anyone know how I could have done what I needed to with jack in
the mix and the hardware I had on hand?
all the best,
drew

from man jackd: $JACK_DEFAULT_SERVER specifies the default server
name.
you can actually run two instances of qjactl which will each control a
seperate jack instance if you start from the shell and have that
parameter defined.
I will have to experiment with this. (perhaps my only one instance was bad
memory and rdairplay and not jack... hmmm)
Your client program can use setenv() to change
default servers in order to have connections with both. It is up to
you to deal with the possibility of different buffer sizes or clock
skew etc. of course.
In the particular instance I am intersted in here, I would want two different
jackds running and two different instances of rotter, one to connect to each
jack. I will have to see if rotter can deal with this and if not if I can
patch it or get Nicholas intersted in making the change. (If needed.)

Thanks for the info.
