waybar - JACK module
The jack module displays the current state of the JACK server. It supports both the JACK2 https://github.com/jackaudio/jack2 and PipeWire https://pipewire.org/ implementations of the JACK API.
PipeWire users are advised to run at least v0.3.57; earlier versions cause the Waybar client to hang indefinitely if the server shuts down while the module is running.

format: ++ typeof: string ++ default: {load}% ++ The format, how information should be displayed. This format is used when other formats aren't specified.
format-connected: ++ typeof: string ++ This format is used when the module is connected to the JACK server.
format-disconnected: ++ typeof: string ++ This format is used when the module is not connected to the JACK server.
format-xrun: ++ typeof: string ++ This format is used for one polling interval when the JACK server reports an xrun.
realtime: ++ typeof: bool ++ default: true ++ Option to drop real-time privileges for the JACK client opened by Waybar.
tooltip: ++ typeof: bool ++ default: true ++ Option to disable tooltip on hover.
tooltip-format: ++ typeof: string ++ default: {bufsize}/{samplerate} {latency}ms ++ The format of information displayed in the tooltip.
interval: ++ typeof: integer or float ++ default: 1 ++ The interval in which the information gets polled.
rotate: ++ typeof: integer ++ Positive value to rotate the text label (in 90 degree increments).
max-length: ++ typeof: integer ++ The maximum length in character the module should display.
min-length: ++ typeof: integer ++ The minimum length in characters the module should accept.
align: ++ typeof: float ++ The alignment of the label within the module, where 0 is left-aligned and 1 is right-aligned. If the module is rotated, it will follow the flow of the text.
justify: ++ typeof: string ++ The alignment of the text within the module's label, allowing options 'left', 'right', or 'center' to define the positioning.
on-click: ++ typeof: string ++ Command to execute when clicked on the module.
on-click-middle: ++ typeof: string ++ Command to execute when middle-clicked on the module using mousewheel.
on-click-right: ++ typeof: string ++ Command to execute when you right-click on the module.
on-update: ++ typeof: string ++ Command to execute when the module is updated.
menu: ++ typeof: string ++ Action that popups the menu.
menu-file: ++ typeof: string ++ Location of the menu descriptor file. There need to be an element of type GtkMenu with id menu
menu-actions: ++ typeof: array ++ The actions corresponding to the buttons of the menu.
expand: ++ typeof: bool ++ default: false ++ Enables this module to consume all left over space dynamically.
{load}: The current CPU load estimated by JACK.
{bufsize}: The size of the JACK buffer.
{samplerate}: The sample rate at which the JACK server is running.
{latency}: The duration, in ms, of the current buffer size.
{xruns}: The number of xruns reported by the JACK server since starting Waybar.
