no, unfortunately this does not make sense at all.
NUM_JACK_PORTS is only used for sizing arrays properly and setting the  
maximum possible numbers of channels Pd can use. as the default number  
of channels is still 2, jack should actually not notice anything about  
this parameter.

nevertheless, i will re-think....

(but i really need at least 64 channels, most likely more; this was  
the main motivation to start writing the entire patch...)
