PW-JACK(1) General Commands Manual PW-JACK(1)
NAME
pw-jack - Use PipeWire instead of JACK
SYNOPSIS
pw-jack [options] COMMAND [FILE]
DESCRIPTION
pw-jack modifies the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable so that
applications will load PipeWire's reimplementation of the JACK client
libraries instead of JACK's own libraries. This results in JACK clients
being redirected to PipeWire.
If PipeWire's reimplementation of the JACK client libraries has been
installed as a system-wide replacement for JACK's own libraries, then
the whole system already behaves in that way, in which case pw-jack has
no practical effect.
OPTIONS
-h Show help.
-r NAME
The name of the remote instance to connect to. If left
unspecified, a connection is made to the default PipeWire
instance.
-v Verbose operation.
EXAMPLES
pw-jack sndfile-jackplay /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/bell.oga
NOTES
Using PipeWire for audio is currently considered to be experimental.
