Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The jack name for the client that is now used is cpal_client_out. This is very generic, and might conflict with other projects using cpal.

Describe the solution you'd like
Ideally, a jack name that can be added as an option on command line / config. Else a default jackname that is more descriptive and distinct. This last may however break existing workflows/programs built around librespot.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Just dealing with it. Which is what I'm doing for now.
