[2g: apologies for multiple versions, I forgot to send to the list]
i feel like a fool
whenever i do
jackd -R -dalsa -S
at the beginning of everyday's routine..
Maybe you should get qjackctl and set it to auto-start jackd
but i also wonder if there is an issue that i'd
better get aware of
befor going this way
maybe flash things will loose sound when in firefox?
That's what I find, I think. I only start jack when I'm recording (I
have qjackctl bound to a hotkey in fluxbox). If I'm just using web or
listening to mp3s jack isn't running. If firefox is playing sounds (or
has played some in the past) then I have to quit it before starting
jack.
on fluxbox i think i'll go 1 workspace per 1 app
having jackd done only in one workspace would be a trouble?
It doesn't work like that. When you say workspace you mean multiple
desktops, alt-f[1-4], right? Once jackd is started, it's started for
the whole system regardless of workspace.

Another thought...
For some of what I do here I have a little Alesis multimix8 USB... (built in
USB soundcard)
One thing you can do is have two sound cards.
Set your normal system stuff to use one sound card (say the onboard in my
case) and your recording stuff to use the other (say the multimix in my
case) - this can work fine depending on your needs.
That little Alesis mixer is a decent price for what it gives you to my way of
thinking.
I have a similar setup on another box with a delta 1010 and an onboard card.
all the best,

ah that's why many of you are talking about
using jack with alternative soundcards?
i'll take it as a standard solution
but well ... i wanna keep myself minimal
am a micro.ispretty person
even planning to buy a ASUS Eee
in case my iBookG4's battery get dead
i wonder what i have to give up
if i am to keep jackd always ON...
i can sacrifice those if they are not that much important
on a serious music creating machine
i am to use
CS,SC,Chuck,SOX,Vorbis-tools,lame,mpg321

I'd hold on that for the moment. Apparently it uses heavily modified
GPL code which they have NOT released the full source code for.
This is not the first time ASUS have pulled this stunt.
