Yeah, world domination is ALWAYS on the agenda I'm sure. Which is
why Pulseaudio automatically suspends its control of a sound card
with jack2 requests control =)
Maybe in some version of PulseAudio you have. The
one I used to
have here did not. So I removed it. Simpler that way. I guess I
still consider PulseAudio unnecessary for any purpose.
For reference (not specifically directed to you), more recent versions
of Pulse (not sure exactly which) and jack2 (jackdmp) cooperate in
that form. Recent distributions should have it sorted, unless they're
using jack1.
AFAIK, suspending PA works with qjackctl, not directly with
jackd. just by running qjackctl, PA suspends. if you run it from the
terminal, you'll see "Suspending PulseAudio". this means PA is
suspended even if jack is not running - only qjackctl. this also means,
jack CAN run while PA is running. i do this frequenlty as i start jack
from the command line using firewire audio interface.
jackd -v -R -t1000 -dfirewire -r44100 -p128 -n3
so i can do pro-audio through fw and still have flash movies playing in
firefox. and hearing them.
I have all audio on my laptop playing through the USB sound card,
including Flash in Firefox.
