This is an interesting point, but hey, things be told in advance,
whether
the patch is accepted or not is up to you, I'll respect any decision in the
upstreaming, I'm just curious, how can a default behaviour that multiple
other applications and libraries adopt is going to confuse jack community?
For instance, I tend to work with firefox, and mumble that natively support
jack, and they perform automatic connection no patchbay extra config
required, the basics just work out of the box, while you still can do more
complex stuff if you want to use the full set of features of jack.
On the other hand, I took some time to read to automatically configure
the connection over qjackctl patchbay, so thanks for pointing out that via.
José.
