jack_client_new() has been deprecated for about 6 years now, if I
recall correctly. It has still been supported all that time. As far
as I know, it is still supported. If it's not working for someone,
they should report it as a bug.

*But!* Something needs to be done to overcome the inertia of all
those old JACK clients. At the very least, jack_client_new() should
probably start printing some very ugly user message, warning that the
interface is deprecated and may go away some day soon. Either that,
or declare that it's not deprecated after all.
