If it just takes a couple of ifs, than things has to improve in my

opinion....
I don't know if there are devs of audacity and rezound on this list, but

I'd like to see those apps have a constant connection with jack... so

you can connect is to jack_mixer for example...
Or should 'we' mail those guys or make a bug report? Or does Fons want

to make contact with the devs of these apps...? What's the best way to

solve this problem?

Dirk
