This means manually terminating jack, from a task manager or whatever, after each RG session; users still have to manage jack, with all the attendant potential for confusion. I'm not sure why this is happening, as jackd is started with the -T option, which means it should exit once it has no clients left, and which is what it used to do when I started jack manually (using qjackctl) in earlier RG versions which did not start jack automatically. However, now it keeps running happily after RG exits, even though qjackctl shows no connections remain. Any ideas why?
