[LAU] Audacious spawning jack audio clients

Hello everyone.
Please could somebody tell me how I can beat some sense into audacious. 
It's the only xmms-style player I can find that is capable of using jack 
for audio. Unfortunately it's being incredibly annoying- when it changes 
song there is a fairly large chance (about 50%) that it will somehow 
fail to play using the existing jack audio client. When this happens, 
instead of doing the sensible thing and waiting until it can use it, it 
just spawns another one! What's more, no matter what regex I put into 
jack's patchbay (not that I actually want to fix it this way) it simply 
will not automatically connect the new instance.
When this happens, audacious will also fail to use the new instance 
every time it changes song. So when it happens I have to manually 
connect every new instance on every song change or restart audacious to 
fix it.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
Simon
