Not sure about what you mean by " it takes name on the session bus". I
hope Nedko can answer better here.
I simply mean it calls dbus_bus_request_name()
resp. org.freedesktop.DBus.RequestName to acquire a service name n the
session bus, such as org.jack.foo.bar.

Could you say something about this question of mine regarding the mere
existance of ports in jack please?
Does that make
sense to you?

Technically it "could" make sense, but I'm not sure JACK users want
that as the default behaviour. I would prefer if "real users" in JACK
and LAD communities could elaborate on that.
I mean, the idea is to simply offer those PA innterconnection ports,
it's up to the user to connect them or not. And if a user really
doesn't want that we could even make that easily disabable in the PA
UI somewhere.
