Bug or no Bug(report)

[studio32]

Maybe we can bundle power and help each other with figuring out if a failure in a (audio)app is a bug or not and to report a bugreport and maybe confirm it.

Also we could make feature suggestions together

It must not be difficult do it right, but it is very annoying that apps like vlc, audacity and rezound only show up in qjackctl when they play...

Alsaplayer is a lot better in here, but doesn't have the tools which rezound and audacity have...

How can we solve this stupid problem?

I wholeheartedly agree.

The most convenient way to do this, I think, is to just open a normal topic for each 'issue', and after we figure out what the problem was, submit bug reports or feature requests as needed.

Why is this a problem? Because you have to `rewire' the applications each time they've disappeared and appeared?

One `solution' would be to modify all those apps and make them register at startup and unregister at shutdown, instead of on play/stop. This might be quite a challenge.

Another `solution' would be to use jack.plumbing (or a GUI for it) to automatically manage your connections as applications enter/leave jack.

I think I'd prefer the latter.

Ok, maybe it is a good plan to make clear that the topic deals about a issue or bug:

So let say, put [issue] before it...
