regarding this specific command line change, jackdmp(jack2) >= 1.9.4 is in
sync to jackd(jack1) >= 0.118.0,  so if you're running an older jackdmp <
1.9.4 you should either upgrade or stuff the "-R" explicitly on the server
path, as suggested for jackd < 0.118.0

alas, if you have jackdmp configured with --dbus, nothing of the above
applies ;)
