I can certainly cause Csound to issue a message containing

the correct name returned by Jack. That should be no problem.

The change to jack_client_open() seemed trivial enough so I

went ahead and pushed it into CVS, and will test later one.

Thanks for all your suggestions and for the alert.

My remark was 'to all developers of jackified apps',

not particular to csound which already has the option,

('jack_client' IIRC).
But depending on how the name is used, you may have

to do one of two things:
1. Use the option 'JackUseExactName', which makes

jack_client_open() fail if the name is not unique

instead of creating a modified one, or
2. Read the actual name using jack_get_client_name(),

after jack_client_open().
Without one of these, the actual name may not be

the one you think is being used. It does matter

in some cases, e.g. to apps that save Jack

connections (e.g. Ardour), and to session managers.
Ciao,
