This is just a quick tool to get the sound going into your loudspeakers as quickly as possible into disk. It happens quite a lot when I play with PD

or jamin, for example. What happened previously, when I had something cool going, was that I had to start timemachine (which name does not start with jack, so I allways use a lot of time remembering its name), connect the correct jack ports into it in qjackctl, and press the recording button. In addition, as you say, timemachine use this (and I really mean it) stupid w64 fileformat by default, and I very seldom remember to use the -f flag to override that. Instead of doing all that, now I can just write "jack_capture", and it starts recording immmediately. --
