At the moment, commands (e.g. connect port, shutdown) are sent to JACK asynchronously. When they succeed, messages are sent through Notifications. When they fail, the error is suppressed. This issue is to introduce two concepts:

• A way to notify ExJack when an error occurs in Rust during an async command
• A way to submit multiple commands of the same type

See: https://github.com/dulltools/ex_jack/actions/runs/3178462331/jobs/5179977194

GenServers block per message. IO frames between Elixir/JACK need work without interruption which requires having two GenServers. Ideally the interface wouldn't change, they would just communicate with two different processes.

This issue may require forking rust-jack. While it's not possible to pass the JACK client as a resource to ExJack, it may be possible to run operations on it in a adhoc manner.

I'd like to be able to send a command to the GenServer that allows me to connect and disconnect ports. Doing so will allow for some basic interactivity in building a UI for JACK.
