sadly, jack thread semantics are not very well documented, but the
subject says it all. You can't send a request from a callback.
My goal is
to have the application remember and re-connect to a disconnected port
if/when it "comes back." Am I going to need to create a mostly
sleeping thread just for port re-connections attempts, or is there
something obvious I am missing?
Nope, you're not missing anything. That's what qjackctl's Patchbay does
for auto-connections, and jack.plumbing in deamon mode, etc..
Check out http://rohandrape.net/?t=rju&e=md/jack-plumbing.md it's
packaged part of "jack-tools" on most GNU/Linux distros and probably the
smallest codebase for the task at hand.
