One other thing I've encountered:
I can now run ardour after starting jack with qjackctl, but if I start
Ardour first, and go to the 'audio setup' tab and select 'FFADO',
then the
interface box is empty, as well as the 'input interface' and 'output
interface' boxes on the 'advanced' tab. The pulldowns give me no
options,
either. I don't see anything like this reported as a bug on the Ardour
tracker. I wonder if it's still an anomaly in my config? I do see
the same
mis-behaviour on both my US10.04 and FC12/CCRMA test systems.
Ardour's audio setup tab has no real support for FFADO at this time. The
audio setup tab was created primarily for OS X users. If you are on
Linux, I
strongly, *strongly* recommend that you use qjackctl or some other
equivalent tool to run JACK.
Thanks. I've been using qjackctl on my US8.04 system, and I'll
continue with my new system.
I wonder if someday qjackctl, ffado-mixer, and possibly others would
be adapted to a 'plug-in' architecture so that they could be launched
as needed from Ardour. The benefits of integration without having to
duplicate all that code??
Each jack enabled application would have to adopt that behavior. I
consider jack to be the baseline sound routing system that should start
after login. Then I can fire up a dozen jack enabled apps and patch
them as I see fit.
