For pacman -Syu jack[...] nothing changed until now, so I used Firefox
to search and installed jack2-dbus, but the package doesn't provide
jackdmp [1].

[spinymouse at archlinux ~]$ qjackctl
With "Enable D-Bus interface" checked and unchecked I get:

Btw. I need jackdmp, not jackdbus. The dbus thingy is completely useless
for my session scripts.
