Description
ao=jack and jack-port=xyz, currently mpv will look for that JACK port only, so it will not output any audio when that source doesn't exist.
It would be very useful for me to be added an option along the lines of jack-port-fallback, to look for the first available source when the specified one is not available.
Much regards.

Research direction
Start by locating the JACK audio output handling associated with ao=jack and the jack-port option. Determine how unavailable ports are handled and how the first available source should be selected as a fallback; done means the requested port remains preferred and fallback output works when it is absent.
