Yes, it is possible. But it also shows how little is known about dbus in the
audio comunity (lack of documentation/quality of doxumentaion?).
A naive (?) 'man jackd' won't even mention dbus. Want more ridicule?
'man jackdbus' :
 No manual entry for jackdbus
 See 'man 7 undocumented' for help when manual pages are not available.

Hmm - did you? You suggest using dbus-launch even so the manpage of that program
explicitly says "To start a D-Bus session within a text-mode session, do not use dbus-launch"
and point to dbus-run-session ...
