AC3Jack is a tool for creating an AC-3 (Dolby Digital) multichannel stream from its JACK input ports. Using this tool, an AC-3 stream (up to 5.1 channels) is created in real time and either written to a file or streamed to a SPDIF output. This has been described in 019. I haved now dropped it – and introduced hum – and removed the hum (see below). The main reason is that it was too complicated to take the TV sound through a sw component in the Mac. More than once the JackOSX stopped and the TV sound was gone, I had a feeling that it wasn’t stable enough.

JACK Source Code Repository
JACK uses Git as its source control system. Our central git repository ishosted by Github. We are currently working toward linking the repositories forJACK1 and JACK2 but this work is not complete, so for now the commands to geta copy of the source are a little different depending on which tree/versionyou want.
JACK1 Git Repository
Those without write access can access the repository with these commands:
You can also point a web browser at
to be able to browse current source code and full history with all the usualGithub goodies.
Jackosx 0.90
Write Access
Those who have been granted write access and have supplied a public key canclone the repository with the following commands:
Hands off 3 2 4. You must then edit the
.git/config
file within jack1 so that the submoduleentries correctly reference the write-access URL. They should look like this:Jackosx
JACK2 Git Repository
Jackosx Vs Soundflower

Eventually the same setup for the submodules will be required as for JACK1,but this is not true at this time.
