I'm planning to assess Aqualung's JACK support and clean up obsoleted code (it's been a while now) and also add a few small, related features. One would be what you mentioned. Yes, JACK restarts should be absolutely survived. Another thing I'm personally missing is automatically remembering port assignments (for example I'm regularly sending output to both the headphone amp and the studio monitors, which are on separate outputs of my 1010 - and I have to make the necessary port assignments in Aqualung's connection dialog every time).
Please don't hold your breath.
