This looks good given VSL is the interface that should be used.

Whatever pajackconnect is, it is missing. But I think it's only needed
when Pulseaudio is running and is to be configured to output to jackd.

Now try jack clients like Audacity configured for jack. Rosegarden seems
to use the MIDI ports at least.

Mixbus wants to do its own thing. Maybe it needs a jackd running with an
associated server name that's nonstandard. Since Mixbus is a commercial
product I'd ask the vendor/manufacturer.

If they want to run jackd with a different name then everything else
will become a bit more complicated. But that's not jackd's fault.
