Hi list,

I am replying to myself below, adding some information:

With pipewire-jack configured to always offer jack emulation I discovere that 
 $ pd -jack will output via the internal stereo card
 $ mpv -jack will output via the external usb (pipewire's default) card
 $ reaper will output its first channels on the default, and the
remaining channels on the internal card.

So jack port (auto)connection/device selection in pipewire-jack seems a
bit awkward yet. Does anyone have any experience here?

As usual, much appreciated,
Peter
