Hi,
in Debian (and derivatives, like Ubuntu), starting with puredata_0.46.6-1, jack autostart has been disabled (see the "fix_dont_autostart_jack.patch" at [1]).
I am on Debian with Miller's git and pd -version gives me Pd-0.46.6 ("") compiled 14:05:53 Aug 19 2015
I would hereby vote for not starting the jackd server automatically, as jackd would pick up any ~/.jackdrc present in the user's homedir, which might not fit the desired sound card setup as ~/.jackdrc gets rewritten by qjackctl with its most recently used settings.
the reason why i *was* changed is, that once jack has been autostarted, it is impossible to quit Pd properly (most likely due to the fork-off of pd-gui; but i haven't been able to properly track it down).
Ah, interesting behavior. Well, it seems this one gets ruled out once autostart is disabled.
but anyhow, i agree: i would also vote for disabling jack-autostart, as it makes more trouble than it solves.
Thanks,
best, P
