Thanks David, but as a beginner I have no idea where to write this scipt. I assume you don't mean that I write such a script in the QjackCtl setup GUI, right?

That's very insightful Dominic - thanks! What would "qjackctl -p alsa" do and where would I enter it? in the QjackCtl settings window? I don't understand the meta-symbols at all. So "%P alsa" is meaningless in terms of automatically loading a QjackCtl preset?
