[LAU] why shouldn't clients autoconnect to jack

23 Mar 2009

Hi

I often heard that it's considered bad when clients automatically auto 
connect it's outputs to jack. I agree, mostly since:

1) This makes routing through other software before output difficult
2) The patchbay in qjackctl makes it easy to make auto connects anyways

But could anyone point me to some explanation from the devs (Paul Davis 
for instance) of why this is considered bad?
