What do you mean? Would you rather connect to the last physical
port instead? I have 10 physical output ports in jack, but
only 2 of them are connected to loudspeakers...

Well, I said this too:
"
In addition, a jackd command line option to turn
autoconnect off is required
for those who (for good reasons) don't want that behaviour, or
those who want to autonnect to a different client than
the client handling the physical in/outs. And there should also be an
option which turns autoconnect
off for specific ports (i.e. an extra argument for jack_create_port).
"
Without that, the other things I said would have been incredibly stupid.

That sounds too complicated. Why not just add a command line option for
jackd for selecting which client to autoconnect to?
