my description was actually misleading. i apologize for that.
the main point of softmode is to ignore ALSA-reported xruns. it is not
related to client handling. this has often been requested, but its
actually much harder to do than it may appear.

actually, this is the opposite of the intent.
softmode is there mostly for people who want to use JACK in, for
example, live situations where the occasional xrun is not a disaster.
they want realtime latency settings, but don't want any clients kicked
out if there is an xrun. if the watchdog doesn't work in softmode, its a
bug.

Wow, this explains a lot for me. I'm trying to use it live, but I
have never checked the softmode options. Many of my apps produce
xruns when they start, and thus the client disconnects. It's good to
know there may be a way to avoid this.
