Hear hear. This setting really must be moved into Jack. Let the user specify the auto-connect ports (or
none).
Apps doing ignorant things like connecting to the
first n "physical" ports is useless a lot of the
time anyway, even if you do want auto-connect
(e.g. I would set them up to auto-connect to a
mixer app)
There could be some 'standard' environment variables
defining which ports (if any) can be assumed to be
'general purpose audio playback'. In my case as well
this would be a software mixer input, or a least a
'monitoring management' app.
