[LAD] A picture...of the global mess

He all,

A picture to try summary what I understand about we would like :

- a new shared library called "libjackontrol.so" : is does implement
the so called control API and a IPC mechanism to use it.

- "jackcontrol" is an *always" running deamon that defined an entry
IPC point. jackcontrol get requests from control applications.
"jackcontrol" can start a seprated server called "jackserver (using a
fork+exec) way. "jackcontrol" is a *unique* place where setting are
handled.

- "jackd" is a recoded control application that parse it's command
line, and use the control IPC to speak to "jackcontrol" (then just
quits). jackcontrol then start the "jackserver" whith the appropriate
paramaters.

- "jackddbus" is a D-Bus aware control application; It receive DBus
requests and translate them to control IPC to speak to "jackcontrol".
jackcontrol then start the "jackserver" whith the appropriate paramaters

- "libjack.so" speaks also to "jackcontrol" using the control IPC: an
client that auto-start actually use this mecanism

Does it helps?
