I use `watch jack_lsp -c`

If it is too inconvenient to see that much I filter it with grep.

Is that not possible or suitable?

I would like to have a program that monitors the state of connections.
I've worked out how to locate the end client ports, but I don't want to have
poll the connections at frequent intervals. Is there any way I can get a
callback when either of the clients drops out?

I suppose I could set up links between by monitor and the two client ports
and activate those connections, but that seems like overkill. Is there an easier way.

I'm actually using pipewire-jack but don't know enough about pipewire to do it
directly.
