Thanks for the tip. I must have done some stupid mistake before, b/c I didn't see the ports with 'jack_lsp', but now I do. Now that I have this software, I'm actually going to use jack for MIDI from now on...not only is the interface more elegant, you've convinced me of the technical virtues as well.....
BTW, once it has all the features you'd want, perhaps you could distribute my python script with each jack release? It is a convenient front-end to he CL tools already there....some folks might like an alternative to a big GUI with loads of dependencies, esp. those in a console environment, or those who don't use KDE or many other QT-based programs.
Thanks again!

I have not figured out how jack MIDI works---and I never use it (I don't really see the point when there's ALSA MIDI, frankly, but maybe someone knows better). I'm willing to add Jack-MIDI access as a feature, but someone has to tell me how I can connect it and test it from the command line using jackd (right now, 'jackd .... -X alsa' didn't work for me)
jackd .... -d alsa .... -X seq
the "point" is that it works just like audio, and provides sample-accurate MIDI delivery with very, very little overhead.
