It wasn't a problem with jackdbus auto.
In this thread I accidentally found a hint that, without me noticing, the server name changed itself from "(default)" to "voreingestellt" (, which is german for "default".)

Preabmle:
I'm running Xubuntu 16.04.3 LTS xenial Kernel: 4.4.0 Lowlatency

Problem:
It all starts with the error

Ignoring JACK server start request because server is already started.

when I want to start the PulseAudio Bridge in Cadence.
I had this before and killing jackdbus auto allowed me to start a fresh instance and got it working (as fragile and unstable as jack works then). However, I am absolutely unable to kill jackdbus auto, no matter what I do.

  1. Taskmanager > right-click > kill
  2. kill pid
  3. kill -9 pid
  4. killall jackdbus
  5. killall -9 jackdbus

2 and 4 do absolutely nothing.
1, 3 and 5 cause the process to be killed but being auto started again right away with a new pid.
Since it's called jackdbus auto I can assume that it starts automatically but how in the world am I supposed to solve the error/message when trying to start PulseAudio Bridge in Cadence?

  • try `sudo systemctl stop jackdbus`, then `sudo systemctl disable jackdbus` – George Udosen Nov 05 '17 at 17:40

/etc/pulse/default.pa contains

### Automatically connect sink and source if JACK server is present
.ifexists module-jackdbus-detect.so
.nofail
load-module module-jackdbus-detect channels=2
.fail
.endif

You can comment those lines out and that should prevent auto-loading to jackdbus by Pulse Audio.
