If jackd is already running when qjackctl starts, there's no need to
press qjackctl's start button (qjackctl will notice jackd is running
and behave accordingly..)

Alternatively, there's a "start JACK audio server on application
startup" option in qjackctl's options dialog, under the "misc" tab.
Haven't tried that personally, but don't see why it shouldn't work...
