Speaking for jackdmp:

- JackEngine keep the list of clients (internal in the server and  
"external/proxy" ones)

- JackServer keeps a JackEngine object, the currently used audio  
driver, the "freewheel" driver... It is the "global" object  in the  
server process, that allocates and keeps every more internal objects.
