I start a script and my session is started as it is needed.

$ ./start-script-song-foo

jackd is started with the latency that is needed to get Qtractor's audio
and MIDI tracks in sync.

Assumed a session manager, e.g. NSM shouldn't restore the jackd latency,
then the session isn't restored. If tracks aren't in sync, it's not a
restored session.

A simple question, is it possible to restore a Qtractor session using
NSM, IOW is it guaranteed that jackd doesn't run with a wrong latency?
