advice: get rid of PA and its braindead controls. If you disable
PA when using Jack, do the same when using arecord.
Can't seem to do that, unfortunately.
Something like
pasuspender -- jackd ...
pasuspender -- arecord ...
should do it.
This temporarily suspends PA while the command after -- runs,
There are also ways disable PA permanently.
But I'm not a PA expert, I just don't install it.
Thank you again. I'll try that, but I've found that jack_capture has a
--recording-time Additional argument and says that it 'can connect to
any input or output jack port'. I saw it mentioned at
https://jackaudio.org/applications/
but the link didn't take me anywhere useful, so I looked elsewhere eventually.
https://github.com/kmatheussen/jack_capture
is a better source.
You'll understand I'd rather use jack if possible. :)
