Hello all,
Is there any way to use logical device nammes instead of
'hw:a.b' when setting up Qjackctl ? It seems like the
easiest way to deal with hw device numbers changing on
each boot, but I haven't found a way to do it.
Editing ~/.jackdrc doesn't work, it just gets overwritten
with the (wrong) hw device names (and I wonder why this
is done).
afaics, you can use hw:SHORTNAME instead of the usual hw:NUMBER form,
but that only helps if you can distinguish device names by their
respective short-name ie. different device brand models.
device short-names maybe read from /proc/asound/cards, being the names
found between [] brackets.
otoh, ~/.jackdrc is optionally rewritten by qjackctl, as seen convenient
to replicate its settings when auto-starting jackd later, eventually
outside qjackctl control.
nb. qjackctl never reads from ~/.jackdrc.
cheers
