I certainly think using jackdbus when dbus is present is the better way, 
Not so sure (yet) if my exact setup is best. It has only been in use for a 
few months. It is also not quite finished. I need to package it at least 
for debian which I am reasonably familiar with and perhaps the old tar 
ball method too. I have not done a good look at the depends yet :)  and 
would like to add a config gui for autojack. It is written in pyqt and 
shell script.

In due time. I thought vacation would give me some time to finish it out 
so it was distributable.... alas, I have not had any time to myself, but 
camping was fun too :)
