Fons,

Turns out my patch was late 2004 but I’ve confirmed — quick look — that minus the feedback connection stuff it was doing the same before. (Just gotta add there was also a substantial explanatory comment right where I dropped mine).

I note though that drivers were/are treated as a special case and forced to the front, and that historically the major use cases for Jack would have involved connections to a driver, likely the same driver, at some point. Not saying that fixes the problem but it may have helped disguise it for so long: It took your entirely free-floating n2j/j2n chain, plus other clients started and stopped at the right moment, before it did something noticeably wrong.
