[PLUG] Need Assist with Audio on CentOs 6.6

[Kyle Kneitinger]

Sorry I haven't gotten back to you yet, busy week!

If icecast would work for you, that seems like a nice tutorial!

If you are sticking with your solution using jack, the dbus thing I
mentioned earlier isn't a big deal, it just makes for little smoother setup.

Turn off that Dbus option in qjackctl, set your sample rate (44100 is a
good default), Frames/Period & Periods/Buffer(start high, work lower once
youve got a functioning setup),

Then hit the start button on the main qjackctl window.  If no red numbers
appear on the right of the little display window (xruns), your settings are
good!

Without dbus, make sure of 2 things, 1) that jack is started before any of
your audio programs that rely on jack, and 2) the audio programs are closed
before starting jack.

After its started and seems free of xruns, open up vlc or something, go to
the audio settings and tell it to use jack.  Then play a song or movie and
see if youre getting sound.  If so, look at the "Connect" window in
qjackctl and expand the entries to see how everything is connected together.

Let me know if any of these steps don't work out and good luck with either
solution!
