If you just want to be able to run multiple instances and don't really
care about setting names you can use jack_client_open() instead of
jack_client_new(). It will append "-1", "-2", "-3" etc to the client
name if the original name is taken. It will also start jackd
automatically by default even if the environment variable
JACK_START_SERVER is not set.
