------------------------+----------------------
 Contrary to the port health status at macports.org I was successful at
 building qjackctl 0.6.2 for ARM64 on macOS 12.6 (Monterey).  I had never
 used this application before but largely it seemed to work.  The only
 problem I had was for a small test case routing one input to one output
 produced no audio output.  I believe that is because macOS 12 is blocking
 audio input connections for this app.  This version of QjackCtl does not
 trigger macOS to query the user to grant audio input (microphone)
 permission.  Also in macOS > System Preferences > Security & Privacy
 QjackCtl does not appear in the Microphone list so one cannot manually
 grant the permissions.

 One workaround I read on the internet seemed to confirmed this theory.
 From Terminal.app I used ffmpeg to record some input.  This prompted me to
 grant Terminal.app permissions to use audio input.  Then I ran qjackctl
 from the Terminal and my small test case worked as expected.  The audio
 input showed up on the output.  But launching qjackctl.app directly still
 has the problem.

 I see there is a much newer version of the qjackctl source code.  Not sure
 if that addresses this issue.

 Reference: using jack @1.9.21_0, Xcode 14.1.
