Ugh! Well, I increased the time allowed for jack.plumbing to
make connections from 0.5 to 1.5 seconds, so if you're in a testing mood...
(You should see the names of the ports to be connected
via jack.plumbing on the terminal.)
To reduce the time taken by jack_connect, we could also try
another approach using jack_connect--starting all the
jack_connect processes in parallel.
Here is Paul Davis's response to my question.

Okay, I'll go back to looking at fades and edits.
Best,
