If it just takes a couple of ifs, than things has to improve in my
opinion....
I don't know if there are devs of audacity and rezound on this list, but
I'd like to see those apps have a constant connection with jack... so
you can connect is to jack_mixer for example...
Or should 'we' mail those guys or make a bug report? Or does Fons want
to make contact with the devs of these apps...? What's the best way to
solve this problem?
