Launch sound program as jack client

Usage

jacklaunch application-name options

Overview

The jacklaunch command can be used to turn sound programs that are accessing the OSS sound system into JACK aware applications. It is using a library called libjackasyn, which is preloaded with the LD_PRELOAD environment variable.

The same effect can be achieved by setting the LD_PRELOAD variable globally.

export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libjackasyn.so.0

In this case all of the programs using the OSS API will be run as JACK clients if the jackd is started. If jackd is not started they will behave in their normal way and use the OSS sound I/O directly.
