qjackctl keeps trying to start jack and keeps on showing error popups that it fails

Hi,
$ qjackctl -v
Qt: 4.6.2
QjackCtl: 0.3.6

When i start qjackctl it tries to start jack, but fails. this is because of incorrect jack parameters, so it's only a matter of opening the jack settings within qjackctl to try to resolve the problem.

however, every 30s or so it tries to start jack (which obviously fails), which spawns an error message, which gets focus, so every 30seconds i need to click it away. this makes me crazy. i found no way in the settings (or as commandline argument) to turn off the auto-retry.

How to make qjacktl try to start jack once, but not auto-retry? or alternatively, it can retry but only in the background (without spamming error messages)

All this paranoia has been mitigated on SVN trunk already, but I think you can always click on the "Stop" red button to, uh, stop the retrials ;)

Cheers

No, the stop button is greyed out. It's only clickable when jack has started successfully.
The only way to stop it is to quit qjacktl, but that defeats the whole point of course.

Anyway I will get qjackctl from svn then, because this situation makes me want to pull my hair out ;)
