πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
jack_simple_client client-name
and here's the one rule, the vibe check you literally cannot skip:
- the
client-namemust be a yet unused client name π
like, unused. not taken. nobody else's. periodt.
π«Ά DESCRIPTION π«Ά
so jack_simple_client is an example client for the JACK Audio Connection Kit β a little demo bestie whose whole job is showing you how this stuff works. π
what she does, step by step, because we love a clear plot:
- she creates two output ports:
client-name:output1andclient-name:output2π - and then she plays a sine wave to these ports π΅β¨
that's it. that's the whole personality. a sine wave, two ports, slay.
