Hi, I must admit I only tried briefly, long ago, ladish and
jack-session, and for one reason or another I dropped them...
recently though I've been trying out non session manager, and I must say
I really really like it:

pros:
+ it's dead simple but functional, I'd say it follows the KISS principle
+ nsm-proxy, which lets you use *any* application in a session 
+ fast session switching for supported apps
+ supports session management over network

The only "cons" I could think of is that ATM *very* few apps support
it, but that isn't it's fault right? 

I actually don't understand this situation, why so many support
jack-session but so little nsm (just look at [1] vs [2])? There
was a big discussion last year [3] and all the devs that took part in
the discussion, except Rui, agreed that it was the best session manager
for a variety of reasons... so why so little support for it? 

cheers,
renato
