I would not recommend that. We decided to release it dependent on JACK_START_SERVER because some clients use jack_client_new() to decide whether to use JACK or some other interface. For them, this change was not entirely compatible, or at least the results were unexpected and sometimes undesired. We plan to provide a new jack_client_open() interface in the next release. This will give clients explicit control over whether or not to start the server when it is not already running. Eventually, we plan to change the default behavior of jack_client_new(), but not until there has been an adequate transition peroid. JACK has so many clients. They need quite a long time to adjust to even subtle interface semantics changes. -- joq
