With latest Jack1 you can add any metadata to a port. Of course
then the connection GUIs such as qjackctl should support it...
Apart from that it would indeed be handy if the port names for a
device could be defined somewhere, e.g. in a .jackrc file. Can't
be that difficult...

A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia.
It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris
and hysterically inflated market opportunities. (Cory Doctorow)
3) After >10 years I'm still uncertain if I
can permanently rename I/O
for a device in JACK, but I'm sure as hell there is no simple UI for
that. Bitwig fixes that at the "first run configuration" step: I can
create virtual inputs/outputs from physical ones and give them
sensible names.
This should I think be a part of jack. I have a delta 66 which means
capture 1 to 4 are analog in, capture 9 and 10 are spdif in (analog
5 and 6 for me) and capture 11 and 12 are monitor mixer in. Capture
5 to 8 are not usable and it would be nice to not show them at all,
but it would be nice to at least label them "NA" or "not in use" or
something. Playback has similar issues though I can at least use all
the playbacks as inputs to the monitor mixer... if I actually made
use of it :) But labeling (which affects ordering in displays BTW)
would be really nice. I could make a fake device with 6 inputs and 6
outputs which would be next best...
