i have my opinion; but i am interested in others

In my opinion jack should never start itself. I spend more time on irc helping people "killall -9 jackd jackdbus" than just about anything else. It is a slick idea but in practice it causes more trouble than it's worth.

Setting up jack to be my audio device (starts at session start) has been the least trouble.

While advertized as help for newbys, in the end this is an advanced option only useful for those who understand jackd well... default off makes the most sense.
