Bug#527642: jackd: jack daemon quits at boot up

[Philip Ashmore]

Package: jackd
Version: 0.109.2-5
Severity: important

I tried to enable jackd start at boot up by editing /etc/default/jackd
When the system starts I do ...
    $ ps -ef | grep [j]ack
.... and see no listing.

I modified /etc/init.d/jackd to print more verbose messages (attached).
I then tried ...
    # /etc/init.d/jackd start
....and got...
    Removing stale PID file /var/run/jackd.pid. (warning).
    Starting jackd audio server: jackdStarting /usr/bin/jackd...
    Detaching to start /usr/bin/jackd...done.
..
If I run...
    # /etc/init.d/jackd start
....straight after I get the exact same message.
