Hi

Old problem here, decided to try to get to the bottom of this.

Normally I start jack from qjackctl and mostly everythings fine. However
sometimes "something" makes jack hang and I cannot kill it, so I have to
reboot :-(

When started proberly from qjackctl the process is called jackd. If I
forget to start jack before renoise and renoise is configured to use
jack, renoise starts its own jack. This is called jackdbus. It seems I
have both "jackd", "jackd2" and "jackd2-firewire" installed, probably
because I was testing which one worked better with my new kernel.

1) How can I kill-kill jack when it's hanging?

2) What's the prober way of having two versions of jack installed,
making sure I'm *always* using one version as default (specifically, how
to make qjackctl and renoise use the same version)?

Sorry if this is all too obvious...

NB: Running debian jessie + liquorix sid

Cheers
