Yes, that's what I am using until now as well, but I would like to avoid
qjackctl's auto-connect in order to keep my midi connection scheme
independent, on a per-patch basis, within the startup shell script, but
without spawning a second (aconnect) process after launching Pd.

But I think I remember Miller once explained on this list why including
aconnect's functionality within Pd itself was somehow difficult or not
advisable.
