Bug Description

Binary package hint: qjackctl

According to the man page, qjackctl has the options -s, --start, -p, --preset, -h, --help and -v, --version.

When the command "qjackctl -h" is given, the response is:
$ qjackctl -h
pasuspender [options] ...

  -h, --help Show this help
      --version Show version
  -s, --server=SERVER The name of the server to connect to

Reason: qjackctl is a wrapper, and behaves like pasuspender (has the command options of that one). The wrapper script is short:

---start script-----
#!/bin/sh
# Wrapper around qjackctl to suspend pulseaudio if needed.
if which pasuspender > /dev/null && pidof pulseaudio > /dev/null ; then
 pasuspender /usr/bin/qjackctl.bin "$@"
else
 /usr/bin/qjackctl.bin "$@"
fi
--- end script---

In particular, I haven't been able to start jackd using "qjackctl -s".
