Subject: Re: [LAU] killling zombie jack
Renoise main dev, taktik, replied on the renoise forum:
"It's not Renoise which starts Jack in case it's not running. Jack does
so by its own, as soon as the first client uses jack an no jack server
is running."
And that doesn't seem right! I start any other Jack application I have without the
Jack server running and I just get no playback! Jack in no way ever starts itself in my
experience. (Mind I haven't played with Renoise since 2.x) but it definitely seems
Renoise must be asking it to start, which sounds possibly like part of the dbus protocol
but I'm in no way sure and obviously it could be written to do either (otherwise the
likes of qjackctl wouldn't be able to do either.) But if Renoise gives you options to
adjust buffers etc while connected to the Jack server I believe from these conversations
that relies on the dbus connectivity.
