Jack Support

[Daniel Joshua Worth]

I'm the host of the Open Source Musician Podcast. One of the major hurdles for pod casters is having the ability to do interviews and/or have remote show hosts. Our current setup uses skype to hold the conversation using the alsa-jack bridge and an asoundrc pcm device. From there we record using Ardour and send to an icecast server using darkice. Being able to use a sip phone with native jack support would enable a much cleaner setup as well as conference calling ect.. I hope this can be a planned addition to ekiga or at the very least resolve the alsa pcm device issue.

Thank you so much,
Daniel Worth

Hi Daniel
I agree, Ekiga having 'jack-ability' would be great and as jack is able to turn off the newer versions of pulse-audio it would solve that problem as well.

There was someone a while back who was trying to sort out the ekiga/alsa issue - I wonder if anything came of it?

You mention a podcast for open source musicians - can I have a link to where I can sign up for it?

Thanks

I would have included a link but I didn't want it to be a commercial for the show.
You can find out more about it at http://opensourcemusician.com and the mp3's are available at http://opensourcemusician.libsyn.com

Well, there are several things to do to improve ekiga, I think there are
other things more urgent than jack support :o(

Well, while I understand it might not be a top of the list type thing for most users, it's a show stopper for me. Unfortunately it means I, and many other pod casters, will be saddled with Skype for the foreseeable future. At the very least it would be nice to support alsa virtual sound devices like Skype does.

thx,
Dan

You can always redefine the "Default" ALSA device to use jack and use that device in Ekiga.

That isn't a workable solution as doing a live show means I don't want system sounds ect pushed out the live stream.

Daniel,

you might have a look at Internet DJ Console
http://web.bethere.co.uk/idjc/  it looks like the tool to coordinate
your efforts.
I have not yet tried it with Ekiga, so if you do I would be interested
to hear how you did it & if it went well.
