[SOLVED] No jack-sink modules in the pulseaudio modules directory

swindus · 04-11-2016, 05:42 AM

Hi!

I'm running current and really like it! Building a audio processing system and running a preempt kernel and jack. Now I want to route all alsa output into jack with the jack-sink module of pulseaudio. That's what I'm doing on Debian and it works flawless. The problem is that the needed files module-jackbus-detect.so and module-jack-sink.so are missing from the modules directory of pulsaudio (/usr/lib/pulse-8.0/modules) in Slackware current. What can I do? Rebuilding pulseaudio? Jack is built with the dbus flag already.

Thanks in advance!

According to the pulseaudio SlackBuild for 14.1, it lists jack-audio-connection-kit as an optional dependency. It is probably something that would need to be detected during the ./configure to enable proper support for it. I'd probably try recompiling pulseaudio after you ensure all jack dependencies are installed.

Code:

wget -r -nH --no-parent --reject="index.html*" --cut-dirs=5 https://slackbuilds.org/mirror/slackware/slackware64-current/source/l/pulseaudio/
cd pulseaudio
su
sh pulseaudio.SlackBuild
upgradepkg --reinstall /tmp/pulseaudio-8.0*.txz

Hi bassmadrigal,

a rebuild of pulseaudio did the trick. The jack sink modules are now available and inserted automatically into jack.

Thanks and have a nice day!

@swindus - Since my main is also a DAW but on 14.0 and pure Alsa, I'd like to ask if you see any advantage to running Pulseaudio, ort is it just that you want/need Bluetooth?

It's a notebook and I want to use Bluetooth. It's also very nice to use a internet browser or other programms with audio next to the sequencer or route the audio into the sequencer. To sum it up it's just very convenient. My main DAW (Debian) is also pure alsa + jack. There I use the onboard soundcard for the non jack audio and a RME for jack.

I need to use and check the pulseaudio jack sink a little bit. At the moment there a lot of xruns caused by the sink. Did you ever tried a alsa loopback device?

And another question. Do you run Ardour on your Slackware DAW? I can only run it as root and that is not what I want. When I run it as normal user Ardour can not create a project directory in the user home dir ...
