Hallo,
I sometimes have problems starting complex patches on Linux with Jack without killing or time-outing the jack daemon. This gets worse, when trying to run with 4 in- and outchannels. I looked into the source (cvs), and currently Pd tries to connect all ports immediatly.
I'd prefer, if that was configurable, like, for example having a startup option "-(no)jackconnect". What do you think?
As a workaround, I added a "return 0" at the top of the jack_connect function in s_linux.c and connect by hand/script.
ciao
