[LAD] Tests directly routing pc's midi-in to midi-out (was: Re: ALSA MIDI latency test results are far away from reality)

You're posting a lot of information, but I'm going to ask some stupid questions
anyway - just trying not to jump to conclusions before getting a crystal-clear
picture of your setup.

So here you're directly routing the MIDI IN to the MIDI OUT, and experiencing
latency. Are you using JACK here, or directly ALSA? In other words, are you 
connecting 'in' to 'out' in the qjackctl 'MIDI' tab or in the 'ALSA' tab?
