Even less hassle is for clients to do nothing at all and leave the whole
business entirely for jackd. I suggest the following function instead:

  int jack_set_autoconnect(jack_client_t *, int autoconnect);

This enables a control interface that can present the user with a simple
system-wide toggle switch that would dictate whether or not ports are
automatically connected.
