This leads me to another topic. I really would appreciate a kind of
"standard hardware interface" for pre-patched connections.

I could imagine something like a jumper-pin (I only know the german word
"Steckerstifte" - similar to wire-wrap contacts) connected to the switch
contact of each input socket, or connected to the fix contact of each
output socket. Now one could patch those contacts with cables with the
corresponding crimped push-on sockets (german "Steckhülse").

So you could build a prepatched system, but would be able to break those
patches by external cables.
