vlc-plugin-jack ?

[juanpc2018]

is here the home of vlc-plugin-jack ?

this always has been a mistery to me,
the manual is lacking...
No
$ man vlc-plugin-jack
outdated:
https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Modules/jack/
near useless:
$ vlc --help-verbose --advanced --module jack

Simple Method for 5.1_Downmix from VLC or XINE using Jack with:

5.1 DTS, AC3 or Stereo Audio file--> VLC--> vlc-plugin-jack--> Jack Mixer--> QjackCtl---> PulseAudio--> Sound card/interface.

Will Auto-connect all channels from VLC sequentially to Jack Mixer input channels.

JackMixer v17 "v13 does Not work"
in_1&2 are Front L&R
in_3&4 are Rear L&R
in_5 Center
in_6 "5.1" Subwoofer / Subbass usually 20Hz HPF, 80Hz LPF.
DONE.

Nothing else worked...
IF there is another way, let me know, vlc-plugin-jack manual is useless.

forcing manually each individual channel out/in
VLC_out_1=jack_mixer:in_1
[VLC_out_1=jack_mixer:in_1][VLC_out_2=jack_mixer:in_2]
[jack_mixer:in_1][jack_mixer:in_2]
jack_mixer:in_1,jack_mixer:in_2
jack_mixer:in_1;jack_mixer:in_2
jack_mixer:in_1::jack_mixer:in_2
jack_mixer:in_1.jack_mixer:in_2
jack_mixer:in_1..jack_mixer:in_2

most of those settings connect to QjackCtl system_1 directly, Not Jack Mixer v17

I think you should ask this on the VLC support platform, whatever that is.
