I assumed it was a possible value of jack_session_event_t, but I see

it's not.  n/m

It allows loading a different session without shutting down the app

entirely, but I guess that's no big loss.  Apps shouldn't take forever

to start up anyway :) (plus it's much more bug prone)

Not sure what you're getting at here.  Of course apps have to save their

state, that's the whole point?

I don't think this makes it more complicated, but it does make it

portable, standard C, and makes sense for libraries/plugins; but I don't

really care enough to argue about it.  If jack_initialize and friends

took an argv that would be a strong argument for it, but they just take

an arbitrary string, so I guess that's an argument to use a string.  For

internal clients the returned string would not be a command line but the

argument to jack_initialize
