that's exactly the purpose of the ~/.jackdrc file: it contains the exact
 and complete jackd command line that should get auto-started.

qjackctl can write to that file for you, meaning next time jackd gets
auto-started by any other application it gets started with the very same
options as last time set in qjackctl.

otoh, ardour does almost the same but in advance: when jackd is not
found currently running you're presented with the jack settings on the
session open dialog, which then will take effect in ~/.jackdrc and thus
to jackd when it gets immediately auto-started by ardour itself.
