Summary0001847: Missing replacement input connection leads to broken track routing
Description1. Create a session and record to a track (e.g. a stereo channel connected to in1/in2)
2. Save and close. Restart JACK in playback only mode.
3. Reload the session. Now you get the following errors:

[ERROR]: Unknown connection "in 1+2" listed for input of Overheads
[ERROR]: No input connections available as a replacement
[ERROR]: AudioEngine: cannot connect Overheads/out 1 (ardour:Overheads/out 1) to ardour:Master/in 1 (ardour:Master/in 1)
[ERROR]: AudioEngine: cannot connect Overheads/out 2 (ardour:Overheads/out 2) to ardour:Master/in 2 (ardour:Master/in 2)
[ERROR]: Unknown connection "in 1+2" listed for input of Overheads
[ERROR]: No input connections available as a replacement

4. The whole connections of this track are now broken. There is no input connection, no output connections and therefore no route to the Master Bus and channel meter.
5. Now you have to manually create inputs and outputs on the track and connect the outputs to the Master Bus. These connections should be loaded although there is no replacement input connection available.

This should be the default behaviour for _every_ unknown input connection, instead of routing them to a replacement connection and even save the replacements to the session. This would make more sense to me, recording on a 16 inputs System and mixing on a 2in-System. So you can switch systems without recreating the connections all the time.

Is this still an issue? I just tested it with current Ardour and connections from the track to the master bus were preserved ok.
