i vote for the 5) auto-start strategy. user selects which one he/she
prefers. the default should be "classic" and i would add fallback to
"d-bus" and/or "osc" whatever. i still fail to see the problem of
honoring
.jackdrc if it exists on your home directory. ie. if .jackdrc
exists then
do the "classic" auto-start; if not, check d-bus service; etc.

But since some applications like Qjackctl or Ardour write this
".jackdrc" file in a possible hidden way for the average user, then
the system possibly goes back in the "classic" auto-start strategy,
without any knowledge of that.

I also think that the existence of a file is a bad way to determine
classic or dbus or whatever might show up in future.
Some env variable or similar would be a lot better, but it's also
important that this doesn't interfere with the manual start of jackd in
any way, so you can have it autostart with dbus, kill it, start it
manually without dbus.
