Without using as much of a harsh tone as Ralf, I'd also not really be in favour 
of that, personally. I've used Cadence as well for its one-click-connection 
functionaliy when I first started using Ubuntu Studio, but have retired it 
shortly after, because I felt that the configuration and setup options wouldn't 
allow me to adjust it the way I needed to. This may have changed now, I haven't 
used it in quite a long time. 
 
However, I don't really see that there's any particular advantage in basic 
functionality over QJackCtl. You can basically just pactl load-module 
module-jack-source / module-jack-sink for Pulseaudio connections and add any 
other external audio devices with alsa_in / alsa_out -d hw:X, as needed. I'd 
even say that the QJackCtl Patchbay thingy to connect everything is extremely 
persistent and just runs automatically once a specific setup is saved and and 
activated. No need for tons of programs for a basic setup, maybe there's just a 
lack of guidance in documentation regarding different setups? But Cadence may 
do that as well now and I just haven't seen it, yet. 
 
After all, can't hurt to offer it as well for those that would like to use it. 
I guess I'd even take another look at it, if I would't have to add the full 
Kxstudio repositories, first. But then again, there's the issue of getting it 
into the official repository to begin with.
