Hello all,
I'm using jackd and jamin at work to help the sound in cheap
headphones in such a way:
# xine -A jack *.ogg
Then I route the signal from xine to jamin and use jamin's bass
boost for instance.
xine disconnects from jamin at the end of each song. I have to
manually reconnect it using qjackctl's switch panel. I run a rather
'old' version of xine/jackd/jamin (Fedora 8). Is this a problem with
such versions ? Or, is there an option to be given somehow to tell
xine to maintain the connection until all songs are played ?
Cheers.
It's just a somewhat wrong implementation of jack in xine. I just
checked for you with a very recent version of xine and it still behaves
this way.
Sadly, many media players connect to the first two outputs they can
find at the beginning of every new song/video, and obviously this is
very very wrong.
I don't know if there is an option in xine to disable autoconnect, I
somewhat doubt it.
One possible solution for you would be qjackctls patchbay where you
could set up a persistent connection from xine to jamin. I haven't
tried it but it could work good enough.
Regards,
