huhu,
i currently finished a simple hydrogen implementation.
callback with:
save session(save the current song file)
save and exit(save and quit hydrogen)

so far so good.
but i didn't agree to save the application data into the jack-session folder!
imo, this is dangerous because you can lost all data very quick. mainly if you overwrite
a session. also people like me, which plays often improvised music-sessions, will
create tons of sessions folders with duplicated data.

that's why i prefer the h2 implementation with absolute filenames. so currently h2 don't
use the ${SESSION_DIR} prefix to store the song files.

checkout hydrogen trunk to get it.
if jack/session.h is available on your system, hydrogen compile by default with jack
session support.
