hi, I do see your point, but let's get real for a minute: those "system::playback_1,2,..." will always be there for sure, as reported by the JACK sub-system as "physical" output ports, meaning they are the main sink to the D/A outputs--these might be wired to the speakers, but not necessarily, it could be to some mixing-desk, or whatever...).

this is all to say that, having the options to auto-connect to something else, actually depends on your JACK sub-system setup, graph and what else you got there _at the time_ you would try to choose... now you may have a very static, stable studio setup on your machine any time; unfortunately that 's tnot the general case at large :/ so it would be kinda hard to make it work for everyone, all the time, I guess.

I'd say, yes it's feasible, no question about that, but I think the cost (my time) outweighs the benefit (your time) here. Unless of course you have the willing to propose some nice code to it... it's not really rocket science you know? it would be a great coding exercise ntl.

cheers
