[linux-audio-user] two alsa/jack questions

Hi I'd like to be able to restore a complex scenario of multiple softsynths running and midi and audio routed between them and baybe a sequencer and some jack fx. Is there a best way to do this? If not I imagined just writing a bash script for each song that starts and connects everything. I know and use aconnect from bash. I also managed to have my hardware showup at the same alsa client number, but it seems that whatever synth I start first it shows up as client 129. Can this be fixated or should I poke in /proc/ to find what's where. Same with jack, although here I don't know what to supply for src_port and dest_port for jack_connect (I guess that's what I'll be using). Thanks in advance for any help... -- Peace, love & harmony Atte http://www.atte.dk
