+ LADI Session Handler or simply ladish is a session management system for JACK
+ applications on GNU/Linux. Its aim is to allow you to have many different audio
+ programs running at once, to save their setup, close them down and then easily
+ reload the setup at some other time.
+
+ ladish does not deal with any kind of audio or MIDI data itself; it just runs
+ programs, deals with saving/loading (arbitrary) data and connects JACK ports
+ together. It can also be used to move entire sessions between computers, or
+ post sessions on the Internet for download."
