It's actually pretty easy to see your jack setup on a terminal. I use esjit for connections: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=104897 And meterec does a great job as a VU meter: http://sourceforge.net/projects/meterec/ meterec is a very simplistic console recorder, but you can run it as meter, too, without the recording functionality. I personally use these tools a lot on my main computer, I like to keep X server away from my machine.
