The only thing these would do is spare the user the effort to launch jackd. But that is not the point at all. Use cases: - More than one user on the same system, each one using part of the available HW/channels. Not likely if you have just a stereo audio interface, but quite a normal thing if you have 64 channels connected to different parts of a installation. - Changing users without interrupting operation, as e.g. in broadcasting, or when part of the audio processing is fixed and not dependent on the user.
