please don't do that; it breaks the standard convention in the audio universe. 
an external OUTPUT (SOURCE)  is always an 'INPUT' from within your 
destination device (Jsampler) NOT an 'OUTPUT', and the 'OUTPUT' from your 
destination device is always an OUTPUT  NOT an INPUT to another device ( even 
though in fact it is.)
INPUT to OUTPUT is how it goes; not the other way around.

 Qjackctl makes this same error and it's non-sensical from any normal audio 
point of view. The perspective should never be from "within" the audio 
source, but from "without". If you ran an audio studio this way you would go 
totally insane in minutes. Patchways would be completely 
unmanageable. "Readable Clients/outputs" etc will confuse audio engineers all 
over the world. Left pane should be Input ( because that's what they are: 
external outputs coming "IN") and right pane OUTPUTS. That's the convention 
and it works :) Rui you should seriously consider changing this as I have 
mentioned before. This isn't a small point actually as it relates to studio 
logic quite directly. You can choose not to conform but it would make more 
sense to be compliant.
