I think Audacity also opens and quickly closes a jack port when it 
starts up. I think that's how they're verifying that JACK is running.

I agree it should connect once on startup and not disconnect. But I have 
only my UCA202 running with JACK, and it has only 2 ins and 2 outs, so 
there's not a lot of connection options. With something like my church's 
12-channel Firewire interface, Audacity would be a royal pain. When I 
figure out how to get it working with the Firewire built into my laptop, 
I'll use Ardour instead of Audacity.
