I guess the "synchronous" response to port appearance/connection events 
(like application connecting ports before next event is generated by 
JACK) pretty much requires RT in those applications. Is that right?

Or are those callbacks called in non-audio thread context and don't 
block audio? (I suppose they block audio, because I see several watchdog 
timeouts which seem to be related to patchbay applications doing screen 
updates etc.)
