Thanks for clearing up. But I'm pretty sure your
idea is too
simple. We also need a way to create ports which are not
autoconnected.
As Jonatan Liljedahl noted, a new bit in JackPortFlags would suffice.
Infact I don't think there is any (sane) way to
make your
proposal work without creating lots of mess with ports
in old programs who are autoconnecting when it shouldn't.
Backward compatibility (*mumble*) would be maintained by making ports'
default autoconnect bit negative; ie, having to set JackPortAutoconnect
to enable autoconnecting rather than set JackPortNoAutoconnect to
disable. Alas, this means the client author once again has to do
something.
