[Jack-Devel] Odp: Re: New build of QJackCtl for Windows

[Pawel]

I know this would not solve all needs, but I assume that session manager ( I believe project here mean session ) could set some user friendly aliases for ports on start session and remove after close. OFC this will not solve case where two sessions are opened simultaneously. Question was "is there any way" .. I believe that aliases are currently the only ( portable ) way.
