Hi,
I do not have much knowledge about developing audio apps/tools and C
programming, that's why I would appreciate your considerations :
I did not found on ports a command line tool that just handle
save/restore jack connections. Does we have some?
I know about LASH, but it's beyond my scope. I don't need to handle
applications state, just the connections.
I found a python script on the web (jackctl), but that script does not
satisfy my needs - it requires too much user interactivity.
So I worked on over the lsp.c (jack_lsp) and got a simple tool to do
what I need.
And last, but not least, do you guys think, if I polish the code (it's
ugly now), this small and simple tool could be made in my small
contribution to the ports collections? I'm not sure if a tool like
this exists but I did not found or if it would be simple enough to go
into ports - anyway, I'd love to do it because of the open source
spirit and would be happy to give something simple I made back to the
community.
If you think it's ok, please let me know so I'll polish the code and
test it better.
Here is an example:
$ jack-session
Usage: jack-session [options]
Save and restore connections of a jack session.
Display options:
-j, --jackserver <name> Connect to the jack server named <name>
-s, --save <file> Save connections to the session <file>
-r, --restore <file> Restore connections from a session <file>
-h, --help Display this help message
-v --version Output version information and exit
