Re: [Csnd-dev] csound and jack

one thing i have noticed, is that with pipewire, i seem to be able to 
grab the built in interface (hw:0,0) away from it (from pipewire? from 
gnome?) and then when i stop jackd (by pushing the stop button in 
qjackctl), it is returned. i dont know if its pipewire-alsa's pass 
through hw:0,0 or if its bare metal alsa hw:0,0

pipewire seems to be capable of becoming sources for alsa, pulse and 
jack so...

k.
