Not sure if that's a really feasible solution in general, but it's
basically the only way to save sessions in a way that don't require a
specific session manager to load, and doesn't impose any file formats.
Actually being able to restore sessions decently from a script requires
a few more sophisticated jack command line utilities (like a
jack_connect that can wait for clients and so on), but those are useful
anyway.
Just a quick thought: How do you get the programs to save their state/file?
Does this not require at least some incoming message handling by the individual programs?
