Hi all,
I have trouble with apps who only show up in jack connections when they
start to play, eg VLC, audacity...
I'm not able to save the settings in the patchbay and make it active....
that's just because those apps only open as jack clients when play is hit.
Is there a solution for this?
while it's playing, take note of the actual client and port names. you
can take advantage that qjackctl patchbay socket dialog helps you on
this (hint: drop-down comboboxes are populated accordingly).
but, point is, you'll have to write most of your patchbay rules "by
hand" in a plain declarative way, most of the time.
also of note is that you can have regular expressions to refer to
client/port names. isn't that neat?
anyway, i've told this many times before, and i say it again,
- the patchbay snapshot feature is a starting point, not and end.
capisce?
