[Jack-Devel] Odp: Re: Re: Odp: Re: Re: Odp: Jack1 && jack_get_uuid_for_client_name

OK now is clear ;-) Thanks for that. About "-w" there is two purposes for this flag:
1) wait for ports. Example: session manager start some app and he know that it ports will appear. Therefore jack_connect will wait for this ports (which some timeout).

2) when both ports appear, but at least one of them is not activated, then it still wait (for activation).

I agree this second purpose is really ugly and this is what I say on start ... but first purpose is still valid and maybe someone want to use it.

The alternative is making script that try connect in loop .. but "jack_connect -w30 A:out B:in" just looks better.
