maybe i messed "responsive" by "responsible"

anyway, the said general default jack server name is literally "default".

if you start the server for instance via `jackd -n fooserver ...` then
this server in particular will be identified by "fooserver". then you
will only connect to it as a client if either your application program
calls jack_client_open("barclient", JackServerName, "fooserver") or you
have previously set JACK_DEFAULT_SERVER=fooserver to override the
default name (which is, uh, "default").

similarly, if this `jackd -n fooserver ...` server instance is already
found running, qjackctl will connect to it iif it's launched via
`qjackctl -n fooserver` or JACK_DEFAULT_SERVER=fooserver is properly set.

nb. when qjackctl attaches on startup to an already running jack server,
it doesn't give a damn nor matter to which device preset you have
configured within qjackctl settings. look, a matching jackd server name
is found already active and most probably it has been started with some
other means than qjackctl, so devices may differ.
