Description
Expected behavior of the wanted feature
Add an open the Jack audio output driver to set the JackServerName.
jack_client_open offers a way to set the server name as a parameter. Already tested this with JackSharp.
Alternative is to set the JACK_DEFAULT_SERVER environment variable before running mpv:
jackd -R -n myservername -d alsa -r 41000 -P hw:0 -o 2 -S
export JACK_DEFAULT_SERVER=myservername
mpv -ao jack song.wav

Research direction
Start by locating mpv's Jack audio output driver and tracing its call to jack_client_open. Review the JackServerName parameter and the JACK_DEFAULT_SERVER alternative described in the issue; done means the driver exposes a way to select the Jack server name and the behavior is verified with a Jack server using a non-default name.
