This is just a quick tool to get the sound going into
your loudspeakers as
quickly as possible into disk. It happens quite a lot when I play with PD
sounds good, i tried similar things using timemachine/ices + jack.plumbing, but
jack.plumbing simply refuses to 'plumb'...
actually a 'autoconnect all connected to alsa_pcm' startup flag for timemachine
would be nice too...
or jamin, for example. What happened previously, when
I had something
cool going, was that I had to start timemachine (which name does not
start with jack, so I allways use a lot of time remembering its name),
connect the correct jack ports into it in qjackctl, and press the
recording button. In addition, as you say, timemachine use this (and I
really mean it) stupid w64 fileformat by default, and I very seldom
remember to use the -f flag to override that. Instead of doing all that,
now I can just write "jack_capture", and it starts recording immmediately.
