this is not the issue.
thanks for the info.
please post your complete .asoundrc
i think your default entry is just a bit wrong.

Anyway the new
jack-plug works (tested with skype, firefox/flash &
mplayer) for half a day.
For day-to-day usage I moved away from jack-plug a while ago and am
using snd_aloop with alsa_in/out - it's a bit more heavy on CPU usage
but much more robust.
One remaining issue with jack-plug that I don't have with snd_aloop is
that some clients (fi. firefox) do not close the audio-device.
If the client is still connected to alsa/jack-plug and I re-start jackd,
sound becomes unavailable until the client (here: firefox) is also
restarted.
i guess there is not much we can do.
what does pulse do under these circumstances ? but since the goal is just to never stop jack, this
issue will be
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
- 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)
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.
