hey,
at the time i'm using freebob + jack as the only currently possible way to run
my firewire audio card with linux.
that means, i cant profit from the regular alsa goodness such as mixer
consoles for quickly turning the overall master sound down and the like.
does anyone know if there is a mixer panel for jack that just hooks in and
controls the master volume for everything, just as kmix does?

no such tool *could* exist without violating some of the assumptions
about jackd/client privacy that exist.
you can hook everything up through a given app (e.g. jackmix, i think
its called; or ardour) to get global volume control.
but thats it.

you know thats not exactly what i was looking for.
i wonder why such an interface is missing from the jack engine? jack can use
different backends than alsa. in case of alsa, there wouldnt be any problems
having a final mixer, but for anything else there is nothing.
wouldnt it make sense to integrate such an api into jack directly?

because it would require a JACK API that related to hardware mixers in
general. audio interfaces come with widely differing styles of h/w
mixers, some come with none at all. we are absolutely not interested in
attempting to have JACK, which has become as popular as it has precisely
because of the level of abstraction it represents, descend down to the
level of providing volume control.
for OSS, there are h/w mixer apps.
for CoreAudio, there are h/w mixer apps.
for ALSA, there are h/w mixer apps.
JACK does not control the h/w mixer. It doesn't do it to control the
choice of which signal stream is used for capture or playback, and it
won't do it to provide a mixing API.

Arnold Krille has written a tool called JACKmix, maybe it's
useful for you:

unfortunately it isnt. as outlined before, this mixer requires manual
relinking of any application using jack that i fire up.
this includes kmplayer, xmms, artsd and many others.
