Description: jd2s is a simple script I created to streamline the process of changing the audio device you wish to use for playback when running JACK2 under GNU/Linux. j2ds currently only supports switching between ALSA devices. I don't have access to a FireWire audio device so I am unable to test FFADO support but it would be a nice feature to have.
I own multiple USB audio devices which I switch between multiple times a day. That's too much clicking under Cadence currently so j2ds was born!
I use j2ds in conjuntion with Cadence to control JACK2. I would like to see this type of feature included in the main window of Cadence eventually but I'd first need to convince falkTX that its not just me who very frequently changes JACK output devices. Another potential Cadence integration issue is that this script only works with JACK2 and Cadence seems to be moving towards JACK1 which doesn't have the 'switch master' command that this script uses.
j2ds requires JACK2 and kdialog to run. Save the script into a file called j2ds.sh and make it executable
chmod +x j2ds.sh
The script can give errors in the terminal and may not quit when 'Cancel' is pushed if you run it without making it executable.Last changelog:

* j2ds checks JACK is running when you launch it now
0.2 -20th Feb 2014
