my sense is that what people want to do is to "attach" the meter to a
cable, so to speak.
output port --------------------> input port
^
|
put meter here
and watch it
i don't see that this requires any messing with "reconnection" - just
connect the meter input port to the LHS output port.
the place where its tricky is with a port that has JackPortIsTerminal
marked:
wherever ---> input port |
and people want to meter the signal arriving at the terminal input
port.
i'll try to think more about how i believe this should be done. i
don't think that connecting/reconnecting is right.
