No disagreements from me. However there is no education for the user
of these players so somewhere along the way these nice folks start
using Jack - good connections or not - and then they open something
like the qjackctl message window - and then they see xruns - and then
they start learning I guess. :-)
The Circle of Life?
- I'm Mark and I'm sticking with that story for now...
For some reason there is jack support in all the
major video players
and afaik it's done wrong in all of them (autoconnecting and
disconnecting on several occasions, which renders it pretty much
useless).
My guess is that they just want to have a nice feature list...
Players that rely on PortAudio, GStreamer, or PulseAudio must utilize
the backend's JACK implementation. The builders of those systems need to
understand the non-utility of how the backends are handling JACK
connectivity. OTOH, players that use JACK directly have no excuse for
sub-standard handling of the connections.
