Fons, this was my initial reaction to Nedko's proposal as well. However,
it turns out that its more of a gut reaction than one based on fact.

Nedko's patches make 2 things change:

        1) no more use of printf or its cousins for *ANY* output
               from jackd

        2) make it possible for a dbus-related control system to
               start and stop JACK easily

I think everyone would agree that avoid direct output to stdout/stderr
is a good idea - it allows many useful things to be accomplished without
changing the default from being "put it on stdout/stderr".

The changes in (2) are relatively trivial and do not affect current use
of jackd at all.
