The useful feature is one you mentioned, to separate control
interface. It also adds the logfile thing. Also it adds settings
persistence on jack side, so you dont need to have cryptic ~/.jackdrc
file, edited either by hand or by control app that needs to know what
jackd options are (moving target, also depends on drivers used).
Well, I don't think there's anything cryptic about ~/.jackdrc ...
It's pretty straightforward after just a minute of consideration.
Straightforward via being a toy. You can't express anything that isn't
a command line option in it, and you can only set up a single jack
configuration. A single line with a command in it isn't a configuration
file, it's a shell script with the hashbang missing ;)
Jack needs a /real/ configuration file. One good example of something
to go there is port aliases, and setting (or un-setting) the default
auto-connect ports (voila, the old auto connect problem solved).
