and as all you might know, NSM still is and have always been, since long
before this mess arised, the recommended session management on most of

"Note that Non-Session-Manager (NSM) is
explicitly designed without any dependency to JACK."
To which I responded:
And it still is. You can use it with ALSA only, no sound programs at all or PipeWire. And
so it will remain.
That said, NSM in reality is the usual answer to "I have multiple JACK programs and
connections. How can I save and restore them without doing it by hand every time".
All NSM clients are JACK programs and the Non-SM API document handles JACK client names in
great detail.
Please all remember, that we are just talking about a piece of software that starts
programs and removes the burden of repeatedly drawing lines on a patchbay canvas.
