Reasons for not implementing:
 
12
 
 
13
- duplicated effort with projects like 'qjackconnect',
 
14
  'jackd_plumbing', 'jackctl', and various others
 
15
  implementing good set of features (especially client and port name
 
16
  completion is not a trivial job)

        - jack-connect <srcport>,<targetport>
