I dont know why JackPortIsTerminal matters, the tricky part is when you
have several outputs:

foo ------.
           \
bar --------> alsa_pcm:out_1
           /
foo ------'

becomes 

foo ------.
           \
bar --------> meter --- alsa_pcm:out_1
           /
foo ------'

Given the current system I believe that it is. Though I am maybe
connection happy.

There are some equivalent systems where connections to inputs are alowed:

foo ------.
           \
bar --------> alsa_pcm:out_1
           / \
foo ------'   \
               `--> meter

I wouldn't like to say if this is a good idea. Obviously it would help
here, but it may make the graph code more complicated and confuses the
semantics of connections.
