Off the top of my head, something could be put together with a shell
script using the jack_connect program. If you are OK with a single
purpose script that runs and connects two specific known programs,
this will be easy, making it work with arbitrary programs provided as
arguments is better done with something like lash, or patch-bay
persistence.
