Hey, nice, thanks. You are using a few features I didn't know yet,
looking forward to checking them out. Especially "BindsTo" looks like it
could be very useful (I found it explained in man systemd.units) - looks
like any jack client service should be bound to Jack pretty much
unconditionally unless it would survive the server going away and coming
back somehow.
