I think I have listed the problems. The far worst problem is that there
is no proper error response when a driver doesn't start. Especially on Windows,
where qjackctl is quite buggy and portaudio often refuses to start.

Want to add one more thing: Although the server idea works great on paper,

it doesn't always work fine in practice. I often have to repeatedly write

"killall -9 jackd" in my terminal. It's hard to get right. Better to just throw away

the idea of having a server.
