Re: [qjackctl-devel] Passing Server Prefix

[Yves P. <neo...@gm...>]

Hello hth, thank you for your support,

>>>why you insist in naming the server in any other way than the "default" ?

I don't and I could not care less about the server's name.

>>>are you trying to run several jackd on different and independant
soundcard devices ? 

No, I'm not trying to do anything unusual here. A simple server/client
connection with one onboard sound card.

>>>because that's the only reason i can come about your wish to give a name
to a jack server, provided you're also completely confident on what you're
doing ;) when in doubt, don't ever give a name to a server; use the nameless
default, always.

I understand, but the syntax with jack_client_open() is what I'm trying to
figure. The only important thing is to tell Jack I want him to support midi
channels programmatically.

>>>anyway, qjackctl has this server-name setting alright and it translatates
into something `jackd -n "server-name" ...` in the command line whenever
server-name is not set to "(default)", which as said i recommend you to
never set it otherwise though.

Ok, could you give an example how to pass the command lines to
jack_client_open()? Whatever sever name with -s and -X winmme options?

why you insist in naming the server in any other way than the "default" 
?
are you trying to run several jackd on different and independant soundcard
devices ? because that's the only reason i can come about your wish to give
a name to a jack server, provided you're also completely confident on what
you're doing ;)

when in doubt, don't ever give a name to a server; use the nameless default,
always.

anyway, qjackctl has this server-name setting alright and it translatates
into something `jackd -n "server-name" ...` in the command line whenever
server-name is not set to "(default)", which as said i recommend you to
never set it otherwise though.


hth.
cheers
