Just one of those aha experiences - not sure if anyone is interested but here it is anyway... On my fc15 x86_64 installation I built and installed pulseaudio-1.1 from the pulseaudio-1.1-3.fc17.src.rpm as found on "http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/". The main reason for doing this is the better emulation of alsa in pulseaudio-1.1 compared to pulseaudio-0.9.2x. Not only does pulseaudio run perfectly on top of jackd, but it is possible to route alsa only apps like sunvox into qtractor/ardour. To do this I needed the four scripts listed at the bottom of this e-mail. I used Qjackctl to run the scripts with the following entries in the options tab of the settings dialogue: Execute script on Startup: /home//username//.scripts/pulse-jack-pre-start.sh & Execute script after Startup: /home//username//.scripts/pulse-jack-post-start.sh & a2jmidid -e & Execute script on Shutdown: /home//username//.scripts/pulse-jack-pre-stop.sh & killall a2jmidid & Execute script after Shutdown: /home//username//.scripts/pulse-jack-post-stop.sh & If anyone has a better way to start and stop a2jmidid, I would be interested.
