PulseAudio crashes with JACK when pulseaudio-module-jack is used

[EuropeGuitar]

Sound setting options "crashes" when using JACK and PulseAudio and you try to select Jack source as input device instead of usb or line in. The program closes down but you can't select Jack source as input device. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Does it work if you use pavucontrol instead of the sound settings to select the correct input?

(I'm trying to figure out whether it's PulseAudio or the sound settings that actually crashes.)

[EuropeGuitar (europeguitar)]

It seems with pavucontrol you can select jack source as input device for some applications without problem, but it doesn't let it select Jack source as primary input device for all applications. So it means I have to pick Jack source with pavucontrol for every new program I launch. (there might be a way around this, but I haven't used pavucontrol that often so when I quickly tried it.. I couldn't find it)

So I'm not sure what crashes when I try to pick up Jack source from sound settings, but what I noticed is that pulseaudio itself doesn't seem to be affected. When the settings just close down while picking up Jack source, output and input in QJackCtl (pulseaudio sink and source) stays on all the time and pulseaudio itself still seems to work. And if settings are opened again, everything seems to be working. Except Jack source as input device.

I'm sorry about my long and hard explanations.

[David Henningsson (diwic)]

Ok, the problem is likely in the sound settings UI then, thanks!
