sound and vision menu items not functioning if jack stopped

Description

The following sound and vision menu items do "not respond" if jackd is not running

Aeolus, Ams, Amsynth, Freewheeling

This behaviour is confusing for new users as they get no clue what is wrong.

Is it reasonable / practicable to "pre-check" that jack is running and to warn users of the problem.

Perhaps by default 64studio should launch jack+qjackctl on login?

The problem with running Jack all the time is that apps like Ekiga and Totem do not support it, so you'd have the same problem in reverse. I do think a launch script that gives the user a warning dialogue box is a good idea, as most of these apps will only warn about Jack not being there when run on the command line.
