Fons, this was my initial reaction to Nedko's proposal as well. However,
it turns out that its more of a gut reaction than one based on fact.
Nedko's patches make 2 things change:
1) no more use of printf or its cousins for *ANY* output
from jackd
2) make it possible for a dbus-related control system to
start and stop JACK easily
I think everyone would agree that avoid direct output to stdout/stderr
is a good idea - it allows many useful things to be accomplished without
changing the default from being "put it on stdout/stderr".
The changes in (2) are relatively trivial and do not affect current use
of jackd at all.
