Strangely
this does not work when I start it from fluxbox' menu, ie.
without a visible (x)terminal. The application (and hence the
meterbridge) close immediately. Do you have an idea why this could
happen?
Sorry, I posted before doing my homework
The --disable-console option helped here.
But I am afraid the the meters still don't come up every time.
The --no-stdin does not help as well, but has other unpleasant results.
It seems that jack_capture needs to have a console it can output things
to.
Maybe it's possible to start an invisible terminal thats jack_capture.
I don't know how to do that though. Maybe there's a general X option
for starting a program minimized? (I tried googling it, but didn't find any)
Furthermore, automatically reconnecting to jack
applications which play
back audio, does only happen if jack_capture/meterbridge have been
started when that application (mplayer in my case) was already playing
back.
But this is only a problem if you don't run it from a terminal?
