Description Yuri Victorovich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2023-03-05 22:05:55 UTC 
pkg-message explains how to select OSS devices for RC service configuration, but not in case of DBUS configuration.

This might be a point of confusion, since many motherboards come with multiple audio devices out of the box.

Hi Yuri, my original idea was that users will see all settings available if you type in the commands suggested in pkg-message, "jack_control dp" in particular.

I'm open for improvements, but we'd also have to include any other parameters that could be wrong, at least: Sample rate, channels, sample size.
What do you think?

Improve pkg-message example for DBUS interface.

@Yuri, feel free to adapt and / or commit this patch. I added some lines to the DBUS example as suggested. Also I changed the hint of jackd_rtprio="NO" for the RC service example, because it may lead to bug #263373 if the user does not have realtime privileges.

Hi Yuri, could you please give me some feedback on the patch, or otherwise commit it? Obviously I can't proceed on this myself. Thanks!
