Ah, sorry for the noise, again. I'm an email dinosaur.
When I last tried metadata several months ago I didn't seem
to get any default pretty names. I was really worried...
So I just now built jack-1 and yes, pretty names are there in QJackCtl.
Tres cool !
Just to be clear, is it Jack which sets these default pretty strings?
Awesome, thanks Paul.
PS: Have you done anything with metadata tempo maps, in say Ardour?
Tim.

Port aliases were removed.
Port pretty-names have a standard URI, and have since before the metadata
API was implemented. Anyone can define metadata URIs (keys). A few are
standard, as is
Qjackctl supports all this already. Port aliases were almost never used for anything,
and the current build
of
qjackctl has support for them removed.
No!
If you are thinking of this, please don't remove alias support from Jack!
Or at least replace it with some default metadata containing similar
'friendly' port names, as I had requested some time ago.
