The fact that jackd has a --foobar option does not mean that a GUI front end for jackd should expose it. The developers of JACK were/are hackers/tinkerers and were egged on by other hackers/tinkerers to make as many things possible as we could. This might be good for hackers/tinkerers but it doesn't make it good for most users.

When you've spent years dealing with people screwing up their JACK installations/configurations by messing with parameters which were never really meant to be exposed to users, you will definitely be "Advanced".

Ah, you want the "not nice" setting.

Maybe there are other ways to get there.

    I find that response surprising, unhelpful and quite wrong.

    How can anyone discover whether they need to use a feature if nobody
    will tell
    them what it does?
    How does one become 'advanced'?

    Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
