jack not available in winecfg

Post by shuptuu »

Hi,

I'm running wine 1.0.0-1 on xandros.
I want to use wine with jack. So I added libwine-jack to my system and expected to see the jack driver in winecfg after the alsa one but nothing.
But adding libwine-oss show new oss entry in winecfg, so why not for jack?
Any Idea?

Do you actually have jack sound server loaded and functioning?

Yes, jack configured and running.
And started as root. I start winecfg also as root

Never run Wine as root.

ok, that's not good to run wine as root. It was just to be sure it's not a problem of user mismatch.
Anyway, I have the same problem stating jack as normal user and then winecfg: no jack option available...
very strange. I checked 10 times: libwine-jack is correctly installed (check with dpkg -l | grep libwine , check the winejack.drv.so existance in /usr/lib/wine/)
is there a way to see why wine doesn't load that file?
