Qjackctl defeats any sort of logic and common sense, but that's
no reason to cripple Ardour as well.
Running two jacks generally means at least one from
CLI
which is where server naming makes sense. Also, more than one jack,
although useful where needed, is generally not for casual/first time
use. It takes some understanding beyond point and click.
Again that's no good reason to make running Ardour with any
non-default server impossible.
The whole new startup logic in Ardour4 is IMHO a big regression.
Probably meant to be 'user friendly' but the effect is the
opposite.
