On that note, is there a JACK command-line utility that is as easy to
use as "|"?

That would be cool, if a, b, and c were JACK-enabled applications:

$ jack-pipe a : b : c

So much faster than opening up qjackctl and making connections
manually. Okay, clearly this doesn't handle multichannel very well
however.
