Hi all, Here is an updated version that add a new (to be defined) "config" API in libjack.so. The idea is to provide a way to *share* multiple server configurations in a unique place for all control application. The important point are: - we are not allowed to break legacy use of ~/.jackdrc - we absolutely want to maintain server auto-start from clients So the overall suggestion is to *maintain* this ~/.jackdrc with it's current format and to define a new config API that will probably use another file (or set of files...). - legacy control application (Qjackcl for instance) can still use their multiple server configurations, they will not see and use this new share and centralized state, but I don't think we can do better. - new control front-end (jackdbus, jackOSC) would have to use this new config API.
