yes - that will be fine, if (first) the device creation returns an error
then set a no-jack flag and don't do any more jack things. Look out for
problems trying to use warningdialog() to early, I noticed that we still
do not have the re-drawing of the display turned off until the initial
score is loaded and ready to be drawn, which causes a error in the draw
or expose routine or some such - just use g_warning until we have things
working.
