Why is considered baaad?
Because the user should be in charge og making the connections. Even a default behaviour of no connections (which admitedly can throw jack newcommers off) can easily be changed through the patch-bay, which let's you define connections jack should make for you. To my knowledge there's not elegant way to disconnect an autoconnected program, whereas connections will be handled very smoothly by hosts like ardour. A reference (Esben Stien): http://osdir.com/ml/audio.pulseaudio.general/2007-07/msg00068.html: "> What do you mean by "external connection management"? That connection management is handled by external applications, like patchage, qjackctl, jack.plumber, LASH, etc. JACK applications should never connect to anything by default." -- peace, love & harmony Atte http://atte.dk | http://myspace.com/attejensen http://anagrammer.dk | http://modlys.dk
