Good idea. Using printf() and friends as means of communicating status
is good for prototype code, but some error message "framework" (like
this one) is usually better - more flexible, easier to maintain etc.

I wish it worked like that from start. Seamless integration with desktop
is always nice. Qjackctl was a step in the right direction and I'm using
it very often, but this, plus a dockable or tray-based control app,
would be even better.

What's a debug-timer?

That's a must! :)

Auto-activation and auto-shutdown is definitely a good idea as well. At
least, if we want JACK to "just work".

Do you mean switchable or simultaneous configs? Switchable, I suppose?
Yes, that would be useful as well. Is it how sampling frequency
selection would work?

Do you *need* XML support at all? Can't it be done with something
simpler, like plain text config?

How does multiconfig relate to LASH? Is jackdbus configuration name
stored in LASH session, or...?
