I guess the "synchronous" response to port appearance/connection
events
(like application connecting ports before next event is generated by
JACK) pretty much requires RT in those applications. Is that right?
Or are those callbacks called in non-audio thread context and don't
block audio? (I suppose they block audio, because I see several watchdog
timeouts which seem to be related to patchbay applications doing screen
updates etc.)
