Options

-b SIZE

-c SYM=VAL

Set control value (e.g. "vol=1.4").

-d

Dump plugin <=> UI communication.

-U URI

Load the UI with the given URI.

-h

Print the command line options.

-i

Ignore input on stdin (for background use).

-l DIR

-t

-x

Use only exact Jack client name, and exit if it is taken
