Don't miss the non-visual connection interface "jack-plumbing". It has
to run permanently and connects/disconnects based on rules like:

(connect    "PortAudio:out_.*[13579]" "jack_mixer:JACK R") 
(connect    "PortAudio:out_.*[02468]" "jack_mixer:JACK L") 
(disconnect "PortAudio:out_.*" "jack_mixer:JACK .*")
(disconnect "PortAudio:out_.*" "system:playback_.*")

That's handy for clients whose ports only show up when playing, like
Audacity.
