Re: module-jackdbus-detect in PulseAudio

 

Hi David,

I just did the upgrade but I do not see any JACK server or sink option
in pamanger after starting JACK.  I did set Dbus on and restarted.  I
also do not see anything JACK related in PA modules list.  

What magic am I missing? :)

BTW: This is with the new generic kernel.
