[Feature Request] Cadence automatically stop JACK on exit/logout #297

Open mr-smidge opened 4 years ago

mr-smidge commented 4 years ago

Summary

Feature request: please add the ability for Cadence to automatically stop JACK when it exits.

Use Case

Hardware: Focusrite Sapphire Pro 24 Driver: FFADO (JACK firewire driver) OS: Linux Mint 20

This sound card is also supported by a kernel module snd_dice, but the functionality is limited compared to the FFADO drivers, so I have to use JACK in order to make proper use of my hardware.

Assuming a normal graphical session logout, if Cadence could stop JACK then the above use case would work.

Workarounds

Currently using qjackctl, which can shutdown jack when it exits (already mentioned in a previous issue here).
