that said, it would be awesome to merge your hack Paul.
i can vaguely remember something about that from you a year
ago or
so, but i also remember you also recalled and scrapped it
the next
day, so nothing was patched yet :(
i didn't pass it on because i started to get some crashes with
qjc that
i hadn' t had before.
is there any plans for (re)posting the "qjackctl pretty-name
metadata patch" or whatever it's called?
it is a pretty deep change (i threw out all support for JACK port
aliases). but i will post it at some point because i don't have
time to figure out the nature of the (very occasional) crash (yet)
jack port aliases *should* be deprecated. it is a mechanism that
should never have seen the light of day.
there's the "jack port aliases" and there's the "qjackctl
client/port aliases". they are two different things and orthogonal.
the later is what i believe may be integrated with the "jack
pretty-name metatada" interface.

ok. so i guess that means we are in tune :)-- drop the old deprecated
"jack port aliases" and adopt and/or adapt the even older "qjackctl
client/port aliases" as to latest "jack pretty-name metadata" interface.
may i/we look at some source code or patch anytime soon ? ;)
cheers
