if qjackctl is not requriement, one can do it by accessing session buses

Ever tried that??? I did. And as I didn't want a solution involving copying
changing(!) security secrets across machines, I wanted anonymous access to
dedicated dbus sessions.
Turns out that despite all config-file hackery this needs a custom patched dbus
server to work. The patch is less then 10 lines but the mainline refuses to
include it afaik. Which makes the whole anonymous authorization in dbus
useless.
I decided to invent my own text-based network protocol. Is easier to forward
to the next phd-student then teaching him how to handle custom patched
versions...
