you, simply because you're not forced to use this if it is realised as
a client in the spirit of jackconnect.
I did not know that nsm supports live switching of sessions without
restarting clients, but in case you need to change the jack sample rate
you most likely can't do that anyway. I guess that with that
functionality in use 'live switching' would not be possible or
only in special cases (identical jack settings).
That would be the only drawback I can see.
Theoretically there's no conflict between sample rate changes and switching--assuming of course that A) all of the clients involved can deal with runtime sample rate changes and B) that none of them will complain if the JACK sample rate and the project sample rate differ (however briefly).
And likewise, theoretically it's fine to change sample rate and buffer size without stopping JACK clients.
In fact, I do test all the Non stuff for this scenario. But I don't usually do that in practice though. Too many bad memories from the time when running jack_bufsize with clients attached would crash stuff.

Philipp
