The background, I guess, is that client names need to be unique. In the jack_client_new days, appending the PID was a nice way of ensuring your name would be likely to be unique (even when you start multiple instances of the same tool). Nowadays, this is handled (and handled better) in jack_client_open, so I agree applications shouldn't append their PID anymore themselves. In case you really do want to be able to run multiple instances of the same app, it would be useful if applications allowed you to specify the desired client name at the commandline so you can give it a useful name. I like jack_mixer a lot, but can't use it, because of the PID in the JACK client's name and there seems to be no option to ban this behaviour. Actually, jack_mixer allows you to specify the desired client name at the commandline. Just start it with 'jack_mixer asdf', and the client will be called 'asdf' without the pid.
