"jackpatch" is a standalone utility program, that just happens to be the real, and technically speaking, the "glue" to the JACK ecosystem--if you don't put it on the graph, NSM won't represent the slightest joy to any JACK client whatsoever nor their respective in-session connections. formerly, "jackpatch" has been delivered by the original "non-session-manager" source offering. NSM, the protocol or NSM API, as you might prefer, allegedly will be the same (or is it not?) but some chose that it was about the whole dang bundle: the original FLTK non-session-manager (or legacy-gui) but also the tiny "jackpatch" thingie... besides all the non-technical issues that I won't repeat here, i should say that was a disgraceful move to begin with, that (double-handledly) resulted in what you all know (and/or chose to ignore). what I believe that would be the right thing to do: this hypothetical "new-jackpatch" tool that maybe well be an addition to the official jackaudio.org source tree and thus community-recommended thereafter, in jack_tools, perhaps--just one official alternative with the full-stamp-of-approval by jackaudio.org et al. nb. people may still well choose whatever NSM *manager* he/she likes most (argodejo, raysession, new-session-manager, even the original non-session-manager, whatever... that would be great and possibly still is, I believe. but then, I digress... I apologize to bring you all this in such a rant, sorry again. promise I rest my case here, anyway: I've made my stance and, as said on the OP, I don't really wish to hose you with this matter anymore... wait, sorry :) as long as "n..-session-manage(r|ment).jackaudio.org" won't ever be a thing! nuff said signing-off -- rncbc aka.
