what does pulse do under these circumstances ?
I dunno. I never used pulseaudio.
but since the goal is just to never stop jack,

ignored ;D
fair enough.
Well there's two reasons for stopping JACK from time-to-time:
- save battery power when traveling and not listening to audio
see jack-dev for the thread on jack_suspend.
this is probably another usecase for it.
- debugging some JACK apps.. where I need sound *and*
gdb
(otherwise
`jackd -t 600000 -r -n debug -d dummy` and
JACK_DEFAULT_SERVER=debug gdb ...
does the trick)
this reminds me that alsa_out is missing an option for the servername :)
alsa_out -d jack:aout -n3 seems to work nicely.
so with a servername option, it could operate in a jack_diplomat like
way.
In my case those events occur much more frequently than I wish to
re-start firefox and other non-jack apps :)
Anyway it's probably just me and I'm happy with snd_aloop.

pcm.!default {
type plug

pcm.jack is already a plug.
your pcm.!default wraps it with another plug.
i only have:
pcm.!default jack:default
pcm.jack {
@args [ NAME ]
@args.NAME {
type string
default "alsa-jack"
}
type plug
slave {
pcm {
type jack
client_name $NAME
playback_ports {
0 alsa_pcm:playback_1
1 alsa_pcm:playback_2
}
capture_ports {
0 alsa_pcm:capture_1
1 alsa_pcm:capture_2
}
}
}
}
pushing args to the default doesnt work, i guess.
pcm.!default {
@args [ NAME ]
@args.NAME {
type string
default "alsa-jack"
}
type plug
slave {
pcm {
type jack
client_name $NAME
playback_ports {
0 system:playback_1
1 system:playback_2
}
capture_ports {
0 system:capture_1
1 system:capture_2
}
}
}
}
