I think this is because, when your app is using oss or alsa, the friendly
thing to do is to stop using the sound card (since using the sound card
blocks other applications that would like to use it), and it is easier to
plug in your calls to the jack api in the same place as the oss or alsa api
calls, than it is to change your connection/disconnection policy based on
api.
