* When JACK
gets restarted it would be great if running
 JACK applications wouldn't need to be restarted. 
 they don't need to be. ardour, xmms-jack and freqtweak can
 all by reconnected; xmms-jack actually does it
 automatically. 
 
cool, I didn't notice it but to be honest I did update to JACK
CVS just some days ago.
About reconnecting I wonder if the applications could do it
themselves and transparently as soon as JACK reappears. I did
notice that it takes a lot of time to reconnect after I had
to restart JACK.
It may sound snottily but it simply would be convenient.
Best regards
