(btw, why jackd doesn't read /etc/jackrc or
~/.jackrc ?)
What about having a simple config file that is just a
set of default
options, eg. /root/.jackrc:
-R -d alsa -d Hammerfall -r 44100 -p 256
Then this can be chopped up and prepended to argv[] before being thrown at
the argv parser.
It doesn't work as well as it might because of the -d thing (so you cant
override the driver easily), but you can still override the rate, number
of periods etc.
Why not just distribute an /etc/init.d/jackd script? It would be
useful, and such a script can easily read config files with no extra
library dependencies in JACK.

BTW, like everyone else, I like Takashi and Paul's idea of running the
JACK engine in-process if libjack finds that no daemon is running.
