I must have an older version, my man page doesn't show -j, good to know it 
is there, thank you.

Hmm, I use 1.9.10. In the past I have used the features of jackdbus for a 
lot of things, but I am now probably to the point I don't have to. Jack is 
started at session start with jack_control but could be just command line. 
I don't use zita-a2j that much (testing only) as the old ensoniq card 
while quite quiet is "only" 16 bit and uses 1/8 plugs. I normally use no 
more than 2 inputs anyway. However, the debian/ubuntu repos seem to make 
it as hard as possible to install jack1... or rather hard to remove jack2 
or run jack1 along side. However, starting zita-a2j on the side is not a 
problem.
