Of course then the connection GUIs such as qjackctl should support it... Apart from that it would indeed be handy if the port names for a device could be defined somewhere, e.g. in a .jackrc file. Can't be that difficult... Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities.
