JACK itself has no notion of channel layouts (i.e. assigning which speaker a given channel is supposed to map to) - it just takes whatever the application outputs, and reroutes it to whatever the user defines. This means the user and the application are in charge of dealing with the channel - layout. ``alsa`` uses the old MPlayer layout, which is inspired by - ALSA's standard layouts. In this mode, ao_jack will refuse to play 3 - or 7 channels (because these do not really have a defined meaning in - MPlayer). ``waveext`` uses WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE order, which, even + layout. ``waveext`` uses WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE order, which, even though it was defined by Microsoft, is the standard on many systems. The value ``any`` makes JACK accept whatever comes from the audio filter chain, regardless of channel layout and without reordering. This |
