 qjackctl session manager saves and restores connections of all clients
 event though clients aren't jack-session aware. upon session load,
 connections are made if those client is already running or whenever it
 gets started later on manually. as i often say, it just works like
 qjackctl's patchbay "limited-edition" or w/e ;)

 otoh, the auto-launch feature for non jack-session-aware clients would
 be the primary purpose of the infra-client mapping on the
 jack-session-manager side, right?
