is there anyway that cPlay can output kernel streaming or output in any alternative mode?

in my current setup, cPlay is connected to JACK audio which forwards the signal to thuneau�s allocator and then via ASIO to the lynx two B soundcard.
this constellation works fine, but unfortunately there is no way to activate the JACK when running cMP.

any ideas are highly appreciated !

Challenge is getting Jack and Allocator running in cMP. For now keep both lsass and svchost suspends to "No".

After cMP starts, you'll need to manually start Jack and Allocator before cPlay. Post your .bat or shell scripts that you're currently using - this will give me an idea of how to get it working in cMP.

  hey cics
  
  thanks very much for your reply.
  you�re absolutely right : it is a challenge to get that jack / allocator thing working in cMP !
  the main issue is is that jack needs a signal from cPlay to make the connection, otherwise it cannot "see" it.
  
  the .bat file that connects it looks like this (ignore the german command typo) :
  
  Option Explicit
  Dim WshShell
  Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
  
  WshShell.Run """C:\Programme\Jack v1.90\jackstart""",1,False
  
  WScript.Sleep 5000
  
  WshShell.Run """C:\Programme\cics Play\cicsPlay.exe"" C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\ego\Eigene Dateien\adele - 19.cue",1,False
  
  WScript.Sleep 1000
  
  WshShell.Run """C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\ego\Desktop\Allocator1.0.15\Allocator.exe""",1,False
  
  WScript.Sleep 1000
  
  WshShell.Run """C:\Programme\Jack v1.90\Connect""",1,False

    Try the following:
    
    Create "jack.bat" file in your c:\ root drive (c:\jack.bat) and copy the following commands into it:
    
    @echo off
    start /realtime c:\progra~1\jackv1~1.90\jackstart
    ping -n 6 127.0.0.1 > nul
    start /realtime c:\progra~1\cicspl~1\cicsPlay.exe %1
    ping -n 2 127.0.0.1 > nul
    start /realtime c:\dokume~1\desktop\alloca~1.15\Allocator.exe
    ping -n 2 127.0.0.1 > nul
    start /b /realtime C:\progra~1\jackv1~1.90\connect
    
    The "ping" command emulates sleep. I'm guessing the dos short name that is used in your pc. To test this works, from explorer, right-click on a cue sheet and select "open with" where you can then select "c:\jack.bat". If shortnames are not correct, in a command prompt, use "dir /x" command to list the files/folders together with shortnames which you can use to edit above.
    
    Change CUE_PLAYER directive in "cicsMemoryPlayer.pth" as follows:
    
    CUE_PLAYER #N "c:\jack.bat" %C
    
    Note: if you change #N with #H the command window is hidden.
    
    Test in cMP as follows:
    1. Set lsass and svchost to suspend "No"
    2. Set Optimise to "Player"
    3. Play any cue sheet
    4. To play another, you must manually stop & exit Jack and Allocater before staring next selection (we can automate this later)
