Comment 3 for bug 839562

> May I suggest at least having an informative client name, something along the lines of:

Unfortunately the client name is set per application -- so we can't have different client names for different streams in the same application.

> Also I've come across something just now by trying to attach mixxx to another jack application, I have only master and headphones outputs enabled in mixxx settings. When I have Master set as system and channels 1-2 and Headphones on system channels 3-4 I only have 4 output ports showing in qjackctl. When I enable Headphones as system channels 5-6 I get 6 output ports in qjackctl. How come there are an extra 2 ports? This is very confusing. Not sure if this should be filed as a separate bug.

Off the top of my head I believe we have to open all those ports/'channels' to get to the higher-named ones, but I'll look into it.

Regarding this bug as a whole, I'll try to see about getting a portaudio change in this holiday.
