The ALSA "Seq" API allows scheduling of notes (including of note-off
events) and much more. That functionality is not available in the JACK
API, and hence must be implemented by each client.

Side note: this is one reason why QTractor doesn't use JACK MIDI: it
is currently built around the ALSA Seq API, so porting to JACK MIDI is
a large task: its not just about sending standard 3-byte messages
around using a different call :/

Cheers, -Harry
