I have a moderately simple two computer PulseAudio setup. I have a workstation that hosts all of my audio generating applications and a low power laptop connected to my stereo that acts as PulseAudio server. The laptop actually sits between the audio out of my TV and the TV input on my amp/receiver. This lets me use the laptop soundcard to mix the output of my workstation and TV for playback. That all works well enough. I am encounting problems when I try to work jack and qsynth into the mix. I have a midi keyboard attached to my workstation. I'd like to play it with fluidsynth and have the output sent to the pulseaudio server on the laptop. I feel like I am most of the way there. I have pulseaudio-module-jack installed on the workstation. I have jackd running with the output of qsynth being sent to "PulseAudio JACK source." With PA Volume Control connected to the laptop's sound server, "Jack source" shows in the Input Devices list. Now, how do I go about listening to that source? -- Chris Ribe IT Specialist Pandion Systems, Inc. <a href="http://www.pandionsystems.com" target="_blank">www.pandionsystems.com</a> (352) 505 1829 <a href="mailto:cribe@pandionsystems.com" target="_blank">cribe@pandionsystems.com</a> </blockquote></div> Figured it out, thanks to a very recent post to this list: First, I used pactl to lookup device numbers for the jack source and the default output. Then, on the server: $ parec -d 34 | pacat -d 0 Unfortunately, the latency is horrible (1+ sec form keypress to sound) , so I won't be using this solution.
