I don't buy that. Only clients that need the new

some clients will look for PortIsPhysical. they do this with MIDI
already. they then try to connect to ports of the wrong type. JACK
prevents this. the clients remain disconnected.
sure, they shouldn't auto-connect in this way. but then, people
shouldn't kill each other either.
