NAME

       jacklaunch - launch sound program as JACK client

SYNOPSIS

       jacklaunch application-name options

DESCRIPTION

       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.
