jack built into wine?

Post by Dewdman42 »

I have read several places that wine has some level of built in jack support. can someone please comment on what exactly is built into wine in terms of Jack capability?

I already know about wineasio.

But I am wondering if its possible to use the windows version of jack inside if wine...and somehow have that patch the audio out to the rest of the linux/osx system via wine's jack support(negating the need for wineasio). Or is the support for Jack in wine just bare bones minimum enough to basically support wineasio and that's that?

thanks

Wine can use jack sound system directly for audio in/out.

No this is not possible. Wine does not talk to hardware directly, especially not the sound hardware.

Isn't that with the use of the add-on extra, wineasio? Otherwise, how can a windows program direct audio output the the jack outputs you say that wine has available? How exactly is the built in support for jack usable?

No wineasio is a totally different interface. I'm talking about winmm/dsound - the api all windows programs use to make sound. ASIO is an interface available on professional hardware only and supported by a small number of applications.

Then the simple answer for you is - no you can't use "windows jack".
