This is not just XMMS but most anything. After the client has terminated (or one thinks it had terminated), the connection or connection points persists in qjackctl. The program is now unstable and jack must be manually killed. Xmms instances remain in memory and must be killed. Jackrack exists OK but its connection points remain Aviplay (jacklaunched) seems OK Realplay10 (Helix), connections persist ..... How might on fix all this up. Is there a nicer way to restart jackd than to find the PID, kill it and restart qjackctl?
