[LAD] Whitespaces in jack client/port names / jack_connect

Hi,
I have issues with jack client names that contain whitespaces.
Example:

$ jack_connect MPlayer [19079]:out_0 system:playback_2
ERROR [19079]:out_0 not a valid port

Any idea how I can make this work? I tried:

$ jack_connect "MPlayer [19079]:out_0" "system:playback_2"
ERROR MPlayer [19079]:out_0 not a valid port

$ jack_connect 'MPlayer [19079]:out_0' 'system:playback_2'
ERROR MPlayer [19079]:out_0 not a valid port

So I wonder whether spaces in jack client names and ports are even
allowed, since imho jack_connect is a rather fundamental tool, and
either the tool or those clients are broken.
