Thanks Renato. But what I'm trying to do is use
the "Script" in Setup
to make QjackCtl automatically load a certain preset without me
having to do it. The reason I want to do this is because: 1) I have
QjackCtl set to start automatically on system startup and I also have
QjackCtl set to "start jack server" straight away when loaded. At the
moment it automatically loads the last preset used, so if I've been
using "firewire" and then I shut my computer down, when I start it
again QjackCtl loads automatically and tries to load the "firewire"
driver/preset even when the firewire isn't connected, so I get loads
of error messages. And 2) whilst studying the options in QjackCtl
(I'm new to Linux audio and excited) I noticed that there seems to be
the facility to make it load specified presets automatically and I
wanted to try it, but it doesn't seem to work and I don't know if I'm
getting the "meta-symbol arguments" right (I'm totally new to them).
This relates to an earlier request/thread I made in LAU. It's not a
big deal if I can't do this as it just means I need to always
remember to manually switch QjackCtl to my "alsa" preset whenever I
turn my firewire device off so that it doesn't ever try and load
"firewire" when the device isn't there, like you said. I just hate
error messages and I like automation - some kind of Obsessive
Compulsive thing I have maybe ;). It just seems like QjackCtl offers
an easy solution to my problem and I'm not using it right.

ok, now I understand. Unfortunately I don't know how to do that, and I
suspect it can't without a bash script that looks at what audio cards
you have connected and does something depending on the results
but it would be nice, I too have one low latency preset for the external
audio card and a high latency one for the onboard card
oh and you have lots to be excited about :)
cheers
