in Debian (and derivatives, like Ubuntu), starting with

but this was not the reason, as i think it's rather simple to work
around (just don't automatically pick jack as Pd's audio backend; and
make sure that jack is running with the correct setting before you
switch audio to "jack")


the reason why i *was* changed is, that once jack has been autostarted,
it is impossible to quit Pd properly (most likely due to the fork-off of
pd-gui; but i haven't been able to properly track it down).

but anyhow, i agree: i would also vote for disabling jack-autostart, as
it makes more trouble than it solves.
