so meanwhile i have switched from ubuntu to manjaro arch based linux and its like day and night. 30% more processing power and she rolls steady as a rock even with the rolling releases. i highly recommend falk to move over to a modern linux like manjaro.
i start jack and pulseaudio with a script. im using the original jack not jack2, not sure why. seemed to be simpler. my audio interface is a 64 channel RME hdsp raydat which is amazing. the hdspmixer has full on totalmix functionality. i still use carla which is superstable under manjaro. in ubuntu it would crash regularly.
after that i somehow lose the functionality of my multimedia keys which i cant figure out. seems to have something to do with restarting pulseaudio.pulseaudio -k
killall jackd
killall carla
killall hdspmixer
sleep 1
jackd -R -d alsa -p 128 -n 2 &
#jackd --autoconnect a -R -d alsa --capture hw:0,0 --playback hw:1,11 -p 512 -n 2 &
#jackd --autoconnect a -R -d firewire -p 512 -n 2 &
sleep 1
pulseaudio --start
pactl load-module module-jack-sink channels=2
pactl load-module module-jack-source
pacmd set-default-sink jack_out
a2jmidid -e &
sleep 1
/usr/bin/purr-data &
sleep 1
/usr/bin/carla /home/lilakmonoke/studio/hdsp.carxp &
sleep 1
/usr/bin/hdspmixer /home/lilakmonoke/studio/mixer &
recently the --autoconnect option in jackd seems to have disappeared after working fine for a few months. if i look at the man pages its not there any more.

questions:
whats up with that? same thing in jack2? would you recommend switching to jack2?
