Absolutely. I think a new function for jack would be
better than an environment variable though:

  int jack_autoconnect_playback (jack_client_t *,
                                 int portnum,
                                 const char *source_port);
  int jack_autoconnect_record (jack_client_t *,
                               int portnum,
                               const char *destination_port);

The reason is that this API will make it easier
for programs to make autoconnection configurabe.
Autoconnecting the old way (which includes finding
the physical ports and/or checking environment variables
for ports to connect to, etc.) is a lot more
hassle than just calling the functions above.

Thank you very much. :-) I don't understand the algorithm
myself, so if someone else understood it, that would
be great. I think its quite similar to green noise,
which I read about later, created by moore at ucsd if
I remember correctly.
