Well, what is the proper solution when distributing a binary?
1. Link libjack statically
2. Omit JACK support
Just linking dynamically isn't an option. I want to fall back on
another output if JACK is absent, not fail to start at all.
I suppose there may be
3. dlopen libjack from within the program and continue if it fails
I haven't tried that; is it a reasonable option?
It would require to dlsym() every libjack symbol. A better option seems
to be:
4. dlopen() your jack backend, itself beeing dynamically linked against
libjack.
-a.
