I second this, I tried using jacksession a few days ago and it seems
to me it works very well; it does what it should and nothing more,
it is
not intrusive
Maybe good to note also is that almost all recent distros (also
multimedia distros like AVLinux, Tango Studio etc.) have the latest
Jackd version these days (JACK1 and/ or JACK2, both support
JackSession). So apps with JackSession support are compiled with
JackSession automatically on those distros (no need to add a patch or a
special build parameter or anything like that). :)
