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"). + +Jack uses /dev/shm as a temporary directory for its processes; this is a +relatively new change, as it used to use /mnt/ramfs. You may pass an +alternate location as JACKTMP when executing the script. For example: + JACKTMP=/mnt/tmp jack-audio-connection-kit.SlackBuild +Assuming you use the default /dev/shm as temporary directory, be sure you +have an appropriate line in /etc/fstab to mount it: + tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 +If you don't accept the script's default, you'll need to have the appropriate +mountpoint set up in fstab and mounted, but a discussion of how to do that +is outside the scope of this document. + +jack optionally uses libsndfile which is also available at SlackBuilds.org. |
