Description

For me, the headless Jamulus server on the Linux command line should behave like any other GNU tool. You configure it with command line arguments and that's it. No hidden ini file changes the settings.

The situation is different if I run the client/server with a GUI on, e.g., Windows. For that operation my expectation is that the software stores/recovers my settings I set in the GUI.

pljones and I have a different opinion on that. See the discussion here https://github.com/corrados/jamulus/issues/370#issuecomment-683264655 and here https://github.com/corrados/jamulus/issues/370#issuecomment-683267114 and here https://github.com/corrados/jamulus/issues/370#issuecomment-683275779.

I think we need some more opinions on that matter. Please discuss the expected behaviour in this Issue.
