I don't remember getting a bug report about this, unless this counts as one?

In any case, the Zyn in the kxstudio repos does not auto-connect to 
system outputs.
This is so it can be safely used in a session manager environment.

The 14.04 ISO is a bit old now.
There has been some serious Cadence improvements and a new Zyn release 
since then.
A new ISO will be released in a few days.
