Bug 18657

As you're an apprentice package, don't hesitate to provide a patch, that brings you closer to graduating ;)

s/package/packager/ of course :)

Ok, I tried a few things, but now I really don't understand why jack is not available in our version.

I tried re-building it with pkgconfig(jackit) and pkgconfig(libpulse), but no difference.

Then I looked at the arch pkgbuild (since I know it works there), but they don't even need jack dependencies.

Then I looked at https://github.com/clementine-player/Clementine/wiki/Compiling-from-Source , indeed jack is not needed for build.
But I see: 
libpulse (optional, for choosing output devices)

I tried to quickly compare pulseaudio packages, but it goes out of my reach now.

Of course, when testing, I do have a running jack server, just it is not in the list of output in clementine audio settings.
But note that on arch, even if no jack server is running, it is available in the list of output.

If anyone have an idea of what is happening/how to fix it.

I see the same (not that I really have a clue how to use jack).

I find that with jack running the default output setting in clementine produces no audio in the system speakers. With jack stopped it plays fine.

One point to note, in Cauldron/Mga6 we now have realtime scheduling available in jack, so for jack to run properly you need to add yourself to the realtime group as well as audio, and log out/in before re-starting jack.
This was added for ardour to work properly.

Beyond that I don't think I can help but I will follow this bug with interest ;)

Ah, my issue is a bit different since here clementine does produce sound with jack running, but only through pulseaudio bridge (you may need to install the pulseaudio jack module for this to work). 
I would prefer a lot to be able to connect it directly to jack without going though pulseaudio like I can in other distro...

I use Cadence to check/launch jack and pulseaudio bridge.

I didn't know I had to be in realtime group, I always used jack in realtime before without this. I usually use this to help configure my system for realtime audio:

(adding user to realtime group didn't have any effect about this anyway...)

Can this bug be closed? Its rather old and the last release of Clementine is of 2016 although still alive on https://github.com/clementine-player/Clementine.

Is this bug still valid?

If so, maybe looking at the spec file of one of those distributions helps to figure out how to fix it?

Thanks for digging-out that old topic. I've checked again, and after investigation I finally figured out the solution.

It wasn't directly a problem with the clementine package: it's only that since it relies on gstreamer for the output, it needs the gstreamer-jack plugin to have the native-jack output option.

So I installed gstreamer1.0-jack package, and the option is now available.

Thanks to all who answered and tried to help on that topic, closing it as fixed :)
