still no understanding here. If it is just a list nothing will "simply
appear as jack clients", we will have to pass the list to jack for that
to happen.

Thinking about it: in Jack I see three tabs each has a list of lists,
which it seems is called a list of clients each with its list of ports
(judging from the heading in qjackctl).
So - trying to make a match here - what Alex and Jeremiah have set up is
a list of devices each with a list of ports, which I think means that
"devices" is synonymous with "clients".

What is not obvious is why you have more than one device/client. But
perhaps I don't need to care - up to the user how he distributes the
staffs amongst ports inside devices...
