Hi,
I'm beginning to use my shiny Edirol FA-66 with ffado, jack and
audacity on my Debian Squeeze.
After reading some guides and hints on the web it seems to work fine,
even though I'm still learning how to effectively use this setup.
So I'd like to ask someone here on the list:
how can I make a stereo recording in audacity with *only* input 3 and 4?
I'm only able to get these signals if I start a project containing 4
tracks, thus having also 1 and 2 which of course are silent.
Perhaps I have to route 3 and 4 in some way that they appear on 1 and 2?
And how?
Many thanks for answering.

With Jack you can route signals exactly as you want them.
Just start qjackctl.
Unless Audacity insists on makeing the wrong connections
itself and you can't disable that. In which case I'd dump
it immediately and use something else (e.g. Ardour).
Ciao,

This seems to be the same for every port audio app, so it should be as
simple as changing portaudio and getting the code out, right?
There are so many people who are annoyed by this, is there a reason why
it hasn't happen yet?
Where are the portaudio devs?
