qjackctl uses jackd as a backend, so you can do what you want without
accessing qjackctl at all and just using jackd (whether jackd was
started by qjackctl or not).You can manually run jackd with the commands qjackctl would have used by
running "sh .jackdrc"If you start jackd in this way, then qjackctl should see that running
jackd instance instead of making a new one.
I just tried the sh, and there was no reaction from qjackctl. I didn't
test if jack was running, because it would be nice to have to gui working
(just dropped a line about it in another mail in this thread)
You can use the various jack tools like jack_lsp, jack_connect,
jack_disconnect, to do the things you would usually do in qjackctl from
the command line (list client ports, connect them to one another,
disconnect them from one another).
yes, that far I got. I've made a patch to control ardour transport, and
also create jack connections quite fast through Pd. I don't know if it's
not that appealing to anyone, or if no one noticed it, I thought there
would be more reactions to it -
