It is a missing part of the puzzle for sure.
My jackd set up is quite idiosyncratic. When I
plug in my external
sound gear I have to change the connections each time to get sound out.
I also use a variety of gear from the same computer each with its own
requirements.
I would like to be able to write a script that would start up jackd, set
the default sound IO to use jackd (I am on Ubuntu Studio) start a couple
of other applications and change the connections.
You probably really want to use jackdbus (what qjackctl on UbuntuSTudio
uses by default) so that you can change the system device the jack server
uses on the fly. See:
http://gareus.org/blog/jack2dbus for the best recipe I have seen for
detecting that a USB audio IF has been plugged in and switching jack over
to it.
I don't know about ubuntu, but here on vanilla debian, jackdbus is quite a
headache for me.
Something (I haven't discovered what) is starting it up, and it connects to
onboard hdmi, if I then start qjackctl it sees jack running so doesn't apply
the setting I actually want, which is my KA6. It happens just infrequently
enough for me to forget and wonder why everything is connected but I'm getting
no sound :(
