Configure the desired number of JACK "source_ports" in mpd.conf. By default, there are two. > Also: how to make a permanent jack connection? > When pausing or stopping playback, the MPD jack client disappear. That is because the JACK protocol forces all clients to generate PCM samples, even if they do not want to play currently. There is no way to pause a JACK connection. Idle clients must generate "silence" samples all the time. That JACK design flaw needlessly wastes a lot of CPU cycles, and on laptops, it wastes battery power. MPD does not do that by default. You can use the option "always_on" to force MPD to do it.
