In normal situations, this jackd process (the launcher) would be only
short-lived (less than a second). It might hang for some reason, because
of faulty driver or something else, but then it would be a rare
exception, not a rule. Plus, it's no worse than what would happen in
non-dbus jack (where jackd would be present in process list, but would
not respond).

If the "jackd in engine mode" (jackd started with --dbus) is running,
applications are able to connect, aren't they?

Or maybe you should describe your "jackd process running, apps can't
connect" scenario in more detail, in case I got it wrong? Basically,
what turn of events results in jackd running but not responding to events?
