Description

Context I use mumble for vocal chat with Jamulus. Jamulus is a software for jamming online - we are musicians. I use Jack audio connection kit on Linux. And we have connected some Mac, Windows and Linux users to our mumble server. The Jack setup (applications and connections) are loaded using "Ray sessions".

Describe the feature you have in mind I need mumble to not do any Jack connection ports as Ray sessions does it automatically when starting the applications. Mumble should also not disconnect the Jack connections made by Ray Sessions or manually.

Describe alternatives you've considered Each time i start mumble, i need to remove Jack auto connections manually. I would have try to implement this feature but my last attempt to compile mumble failed.

By now, i have a soundcard for my microphone so i use mumble with pulseaudio and send mumble output to Jamulus using pulseaudio sink in Jack.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the Jack audio auto connect logic in the Mumble source code (likely in src/mumble/JackAudio.cpp or similar). Add a command line option (e.g., no jack autoconnect) that skips automatic port connections and disconnections. Modify the initialization flow to respect this flag. Test with Jack and Ray sessions to ensure connections are preserved.
