media-sound/jack is an old CD ripping application, so this is not what you want. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
media-sound/jack2 is the C++ coded jack daemon for multi-processor PCs. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
media-sound/jack-audio-connection-kit is (I think) the jack1 daemon coded in C. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
For Jack1 Vs Jack2 features have a look here: |

For streaming websites which do not offer a download button, you can |
| 34 |
launch the browser developer tab, select Network/Media and keep an eye |
| 35 |
on the traffic as you click on the website to start streaming the |
| 36 |
video. The developer tab will list the actual path of the video file. |
| 37 |
Open another tab in the browser and paste the full URL to download it, |
| 38 |
or you could try curl/wget et al. |
| 39 |
|

tee-ing the audio output of desktop applications/windows may be doable |
| 41 |
with dmix and asoundrc syntax, but I wouldn't know what this looks |
| 42 |
like today with any certainty - last time I used dmix was in the mid |
| 43 |
00s. Anyway, you tried this and it didn't work. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Jackd was created for the very purpose of plumbing I/O audio into |
| 46 |
various configurations, so tweaking it to do the recording you require |
| 47 |
should be eminently doable and using one of the various Gtk/Qt front |
| 48 |
ends makes it even easier/quicker. |
