there are bridging applications to allow jack and alsa applications
(for instance) to work together. try:
zita-ajbridge
libjackasyn0 (for oss)
If so, is
there a way to send any and all audio output from
the slave to the
master so that each audio application on the slave doesn't need to be
aware of jack?
sorry, i'm not sure what you mean
Would something like this work in asound.conf:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
slave {
some-kind-of-jack-specification
format S24_3LE
rate 44100
}
}
}
The idea being that I could let all apps send audio to the default
device and ALSA would send that audio to jack.
People have managed it in the past with varying degrees of success. The
standard method these days is to use pulseaudio's jack-sink over dbus.
I don't know why people still insist on making their lives more difficult
that necessary. Pulse works just fine as a jack client.
