Well, there should be a standardised switch to jack clients that makes
them use a given jack name, we´ve mentioned this before. I suggest
--jack-name. votes¿

I dont like using pids because it looks messy, maybe jack could provice an
eqivalent to tmpname (or whatever its called), so you could call
jack_unique_name("bridge") and get back "bridge-1" the first time and
"bridge-2" the second for example.
