If you use qjackctl, you probably want to know that
the
active patchbay feature is exactly one solution for this.
There you edit a patchbay definition specifying the
individual client and port connections you want to
preserve. Once active, qjackctl will automagically check
for the defined patchbay definition and try to (re)connect
each one as soon those client/ports become available. The
matching is made against the actual and registered
JACK/ALSA client/port names, using regular expressions.
Sounds great; I guess I'll dive deeper in it as soon as I got
jackd working in realtime.
And BTW: Thanks a lot for qjackctl which makes musicians live
a lot easier!
Thanks for the hint & best regards
