So, what do you think is wrong with number 2? It's a simple
modification to jack that might give a lot of benefit. Also, it would
certainly solve problem that it's impossible to create a client mixer
for jack now. Pulsaudio/window/osx has it, it's a very natural tool to
expect. And what are your opinion about functions for providing
default output ports? That would also solve the client mixer problem.
