I don't think that is actually the case and stil hope that
*someone* can point out what I should do in order to make
it work as desired.

It is certainly complex, and whatever documentation is
there is isn't very useful.

Meanwhile I've noticed another problem with the Jack Tunnel:
the port names on the Jack side are apparently taken from
the 'audio.position' property. Only a limited set of names
(the consumer surround channels) seem to be accepted, every
thing else results in 'PW:playback_UNK' and all following
ports fail to be created.

Assuming that all audio must be 'speaker signals' doesn't
make any sense - they could be anything. Maybe there is
a property to set these names, but only $DEITY knows.

And why the ports only appear when wireplumber is started
(but remain when it is terminated) is still a mystery.
