Or this one:

jack_client_t *client=...
jack_port_t *out_port[0]=jack_port_register(client,...);
jack_port_t *out_port[1]=jack_port_register(client,...);
connected = jack_autoconnect (2, out_port);

(one less call !!!)

Where jack_autoconnect() would use environment variables,
read .rc files, invoke the Buddha, or consult Paul Davis or
the oracle of Delphi to find out which ports to use, but
without requiring any special support from jackd itself.

In other words, ** you could write this function today **.
The functionality you want does not require any changes
to jack.

It may end up one day in libjack or in some other place
from where it can be reused.
