What I find most irritating about Audacity is that it opens the jack ports 
at the time the record/play is selected rather than at application 
startup. This means I have to redo the jack connections every time the 
record button is clicked rather than being able to set it up once when the 
application starts, set my levels and then do my work. Ardour is a bit 
much for just straight recording a stream, mhwaveedit does the jack part 
right, but lacks some of audacity's plugins etc.

(I haven't used audacity for a while, maybe this is fixed?)
