i see that your patch only reads the pretty-names (metadata) if exists 
at runtime and uses them as the "official" port-names instead.

so, who or what does the pretty-name setup? that is, who or what sets 
the pretty-names of each port in the first place?

i was thinking about the user using the qjackctl client/port aliases 
functionality already in place and use it eg. to run jack_set_property() 
on each renamed client/port alias on jack server start (as read from 
Qjackctl.conf file, on a per preset basis).

what you think?
