Hi list,
I am happily using Jitsi for various tasks since a few weeks and would
like to run its application image
https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron/releases/
over jackd.
Does anyone have an idea how I could best do this, also avoiding pulse
audio? So far it seems that the only way is to use the alsa jack pcm
plugin https://jackaudio.org/faq/routing_alsa.html
or use alsa loopback device and jack alsa_in/alsa_out clients
https://alsa.opensrc.org/Jack_and_Loopback_device_as_Alsa-to-Jack_bridge
thanks for all ideas!
Peter

Hmm, I tried it using their free website connection via Firefox. My
headset worked fine with the browser and jitsi. I have PulseAudio set to
use jack-sink, that's the only way I can get sound out of Firefox.
I haven't tried the app image - I've had no luck running application
images on my system. I've installed their native Linux client but
haven't tried it yet.

It turns out a few minutes ago that they just introduced a fatal bug for
their AppImage https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron/issues/244
which might affect you as well.
Anyone having ideas about having chromium use jackd then besides the
above?

I tried that, too. Didn't work at all.

Hmm, haven't run Chromium on any system at all. Ideas about Peter's
request, anyone?

I was unable to pick the audio device using Firefox, the dropdown to
select the device in jitsi just would not open. Works in Chrome or
Chromium like a charm though.

It turns out a few minutes ago that they just
introduced a fatal bug for
their AppImage https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron/issues/244
which might affect you as well.
And which can be circumvented by starting the
applicatino image with the
--no-sandbox flag by the way.
But back to using jack for alsa-only applications. Following the guide
on https://jackaudio.org/faq/routing_alsa.html I installed the
libasound2-plugins Debian package, which includes the jack pcm plugin
for alsa. This plugin is activated by
/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/50-jack.conf as a hardware plugin without
conversions, meaning that it is tied to jack's sample rate and bit
resolution. I was able to create a "plug" device which takes care of
this conversion in an ~/.asoundrc yielding
pcm.jackconv{
type plug
slave { pcm "jack" }
hint {description "jack plugin with software conversions" }
aplay -L then lists this device. My next question is, how can I tell
applications to use this device? I want to avoid declaring it the
default in .asoundrc with an
pcm.!default{
type plug
slave { pcm "jack" }
hint {description "default jack plugin with software conversions" }
I found out that there is an environment variable ALSA_PCM_CARD= but
this can only set hardware devices but not pcm device names such as my
jackconv. Then I discovered ALSA_PCM_DEVICE and tried to start jitsi
with
ALSA_PCM_DEVICE=jackconv ~/bin/jitsi-meet-2.0.0-x86_64.AppImage
but no device "jackconv" shows up in jitsi nor are any jack ports
created for it.
Is there something I am doing wrong?
Thanks for all ideas!
cheers, P
