JACK is a low-latency audio server, written primarily for Linux. It can
|
|
connect a number of different applications to an audio device, as well as
|
|
allow them to share audio among themselves. Its clients can run in their
|
|
own processes (ie. as a normal application) or they can run within a JACK
|
|
server instance (i.e. as a "plugin").
|
|
|
|
jackd has to run with realtime priviledges. One way to do this on Slackware
|
|
would be to use set_rlimits. Since 12.2 there's another way. If you have
|
|
a filesystem that supports posix capabilities (reiserfs does not), you
|
|
can grant jackd the rights to run in realtime mode, even when started as
|
|
normal user with the following command:
|
|
|
|
setcap cap_ipc_lock,cap_sys_nice=ep /usr/bin/jackd
|
|
|
|
If you use qjackctl to start jack, it will need the same capabilities set
|
|
to be able to start jack as non-root user. You can use the same command
|
|
just with 'qjackctl' instead of 'jackd'
|
|
|
|
jack optionally uses libsndfile, libffado and celt, which are all available
|
|
at SlackBuilds.org.
