Hi,
I am planning to merge my audio-system with my cinema-system to free a room.
I am running a 3-way active setup controlled by brutefir for listening to music so far and of course I want to integrate it into the xbmc-system. In order for that to work I will need to get xbmc to output to jack. I don't want to use alsa_bridge (alsa_in / alsa_out), because it consumes a lot of processing-power and converts the audio to match jackd's sampling-frequency, even when they already match.
Does anybody know, how things are when using the alsa-plugin for jack? In the jack-documentation it says, that it has some issues. One of them is, that if an application stops playing audio, it becomes invisible to jack. I am not sure what that means..
Why actually does xbmc not support jack natively?
