Should meterbridge be maintained or should another metering app de bundled

Given that jack is cross-platform and meterbridge is a X11 application
it's not very likely to be bundled with jack itself.
The main use-case for meterbridge is the dpm mode with many channels to
check input activity.
You may also want to have a look at
https://lists.linuxaudio.org/archives/linux-audio-dev/2012-June/032475.html
- the debian package applied this, but it never reached upstream, it's
likely not relevant after your re-work either.
A better candidate to be bundled with JACK would be
https://github.com/njh/jackmeter (although I tend to prefer jack_capture
/dev/null, b/c it does multiple channels). A simple command line meter
for troubleshooting would be great. But ballistics are of secondary
importance, this is more to check if it's alive. That also means it
should go down to -100dB or so.
That said, a "signal present" indicator would help in all patchbay
applications such as patchage and qjackctl (switchable of course to not
waste resources when not needed).
