Jack Capture : record jackd from a command line
Jack Capture is a small jack application created by Kjetil S. Matheussen. I wanted to flag it into my del.icio.us but I didn’t find a clean web page which presents the project.
You capture several channels from your jack server. It’s simple, it starts from a command line, it displays the capture level for each channel into the console :
In a X environment, it can start meterbridge for you.
For the moment, you need to download the jack capture sources (the latest release is 0.9.17).
In my mind, the standalone console level meter could be another smart jack tool 
We need a such tool when we’re performing live or conference recordings to check levels via an ssh connection.
