So having jackd behave in orthagonal way is not
confusing? Like, jackd
process is running, why my apps cannot connect?!?!?
In normal situations, this jackd process (the launcher) would be only
short-lived (less than a second). It might hang for some reason, because
of faulty driver or something else, but then it would be a rare
exception, not a rule. Plus, it's no worse than what would happen in
non-dbus jack (where jackd would be present in process list, but would
not respond).
If the "jackd in engine mode" (jackd started with --dbus) is running,
applications are able to connect, aren't they?
Or maybe you should describe your "jackd process running, apps can't
connect" scenario in more detail, in case I got it wrong? Basically,
what turn of events results in jackd running but not responding to events?
