[LAD] [LAU] like "qjackctl", but trimmed of all fat

[Julien Claassen]

Hello Aaron and Jack-Team!
   There seems to be a bug in my jack_lsp. I just started a2jmidid and 
j2amidi_bridge. when I do a jack_lsp I get all the ports.
   When I do: jack_lsp -t midi I only get one port from jack_midi_clock, but 
none of the other ones.
   When I type: jack_lsp -t, I can't see a difference between the 
jack_midi_clock port and the others:
jack_lsp -t

   Or is the argument "midi" only seen as the start of a port_name?
   If so, Aaron, you must rewrite this part of jackctl (I guess you do what I 
described, because I get exactly your output). You should rewrite it using:
jack_lsp -t
   And then parse the type info underneath each name. I think a simple grabbing 
for "audio" or "midi" will do. But I guess, that in the long run, using the 
python module for jack, will be more efficient and easy to use.
   Kindly yours
           Julien
