Removing the documentation for deprecated functions is idiocy, it makes
porting old applications hard for no good reason.

That's not the only change, you need to use JackUseExactName to keep the
current behaviour I think.

Setting JACK_NO_START_SERVER in the process environment when starting
MPlayer should get the old behaviour back it seems to me.
Obviously that should be in the documentation.
