For the bystanders: one thing that's funny about all this is that I use Non every day, including NSM, and I have a very low tolerance for buggy/crashy software, and in all this time, with all the fork drama etc. I've worked on Non, adding things I need, fixing bugs I encounter. Well, in all of that, I can't recall having needed to make a single change to NSM. It just works. So this idea that there's is or was some dire usability issue with NSM is to me laughable.) Sure, there are many things I wish I had. Fillipe says that JACKPatch has some "usability problem." I disagree. It is what it is. But it would be nice to have a better connection manager than Patchage to pair with it, and maybe some extra info from the JACK API to identify certain tricky scenarios that JACKPatch currently has no way to know about. Maybe if I could drive home the NSM "everything is a client" philosophy a little harder, people would stop blaming NSM for being incomplete, when the fact is that it was never intended to be a complete solution for anything other than supporting sessions of clients. Clients therefore, are the seat of your extensibility. Write a client that does something cool and you can have all the fame you like and with no obligation to share it with me or NSM.
