Once of the great things about linus is I don't think we'll have to
choose :) The main reason I responded was I liked Fernando's core idea
of using qjackctl as the launch point for jack clients.

I think of JACK as a sort of macro version of PD, a modular audio
toolkit but with clients instead of objects and can't help but picture
qjackctl as the ideal control center for JACK, a place to create JACK
"patches" out of available clients.

My imagined control center is much like qjackctl having a connections
tool, a mixer/meterbridge, a transport control, and perhaps a little
GUI 'patcher' environment (I'm picturing a PD or even Reaktor-like
version of the current patchbay), as well as having a place to initiate
and connect available JACK clients.

Anyway, great idea, Fernando, and thanks to Rui for qjackclt.

Kevin
