I don't have real answers to your questions (other
than
"more apps need to get to know JACK"), but I can attest to
the strange feeling of watching your excellent videos and,
with the JACK tutorial in particular, being ironically
unable to open the discussed applications along with you
because the audio device is blocked playing the video....an
audio Catch 22. I can imagine a new user running into this
and being pretty frustrated.
Hehe. Yeah, that's confusing - and the reason for my question.
Just before I wrote the posting, I tried to have xmms and
kaffeine (a xine based KDE video player) running at the same
time.
No problem, I thought, xmms has a jack output plugin (great!).
But kaffeine has no possibility to talk to jack.
Fortunately, arts can meanwhile use JACK as output, so I used
kaffeine playing through arts to JACK :) .
But this is certainly not the way a normal user will find out.
In any case, the other reason I chimed in was to thank
you
for your work. The newest version of the JACK video is
especially well done and I think new users in particular
will benefit.
Hopefully. Great you enjoyed it!
Gruß & regards
