Depends on what you mean with "alsa midi". Obviously no one who has external MIDI gear can use JACK MIDI exclusively since JACK doesn't have its own hardware interfaces. If you mean "alsa midi" == the ALSA sequencer, then I am not using it - I've actually blocked the snd-seq module (by putting 'install snd-seq /bin/true' in a modprobe config file) to stop it from interfering with the MIDI part of my hacked-up jackd ALSA driver. I'm happily using Dino, Zyn, Specimen, Ghostess, and miscellaneous unreleased software with JACK MIDI ports only. --ll
