I find it very valuable to find out who users are and what they are 
doing with the app. I ignore certain users. After all, who likes to 
waste time on things that do not get used. So I understand.

Speaking of jack-midi. It is the oly thing that keeps my setup running. 
When using alsa midi the slows down and speeds up very bad. I find the 
timing in jack midi to be far superior for professional work. When I run 
jack midi it would be synced with jack transport running alongside of 
900+ midi and audio connections. things get nasty with alsa midi :)
