[linux-audio-user] Jack and alsaplayer script

[Jamie Bullock]

Dear list,

I am trying to write a very simple script that launches jack and then
alsaplayer. I have tried a variety of techniques, but the only thing I
can get to work is a file containing:

	/usr/bin/jackd -T -R -P60 -dalsa -dhw:0 -r44100 -p128 -n2 &
	sleep 5
	/usr/bin/alsaplayer -r -o jack

I am sure I am missing some core linux/unix knowledge here, because the
above strikes me as a bit of a nasty hack. Does anyone know of a more
elegant solution?
