Hi Julien,

I rather like this :)

Brilliant how anything outputting sound just pops up in qjackctl now!
Ahhhh, even flash audio. I'm in audio pirate's heaven! No too soon I
don't want to die!

Is there any way at all, that instead of these things connecting to the
default playback1/2 ports they could auto-connect elsewhere?

Cheers,
James.
