Hi again
I'm using KDE 4 on Arch Linux, and I've just installed JACK again, and since I can't find any decent documentation on this, I'm having a bit of a problem.
Currently I have jack from [extra] installed, rather than jack2. When I try starting jack
as the ArchWiki suggests, i.e. by typing "jackd -d alsa", I get the following error:
Code:
$ jackd -d alsa
jackd 0.120.1

the playback device "hw:0" is already in use. Please stop the application using it and run JACK again

I've also tried jack2 from [community], and after starting it with "jack_control start", I get this...
Code:
$ jack_control start
--- start
DBus exception: org.jackaudio.Error.Generic: Failed to start server
So how do I start it? I'm guessing jack doesn't want to start because some other KDE application grabbed alsa before jackd (but I've been wrong before), and I don't have the slightest idea what jack2 is about with that "generic" error. If anyone would help me shed some light on this, I'd appreciate it a lot.
Thanks in advance!
