I simply mean it calls dbus_bus_request_name()
resp. org.freedesktop.DBus.RequestName to acquire a service name n the
session bus, such as org.jack.foo.bar.

Could you say something about this question of mine regarding the mere
existance of ports in jack please?

I mean, the idea is to simply offer those PA innterconnection ports,
it's up to the user to connect them or not. And if a user really
