I've got 2 PCI slots and two Envy24 PCI cards. I guess that most other
PCI audio cards ship with a MIDI interface too, but I'm not sure if the
MIDI jitter will fit to my needs. Fortunately Jack2 from svn (jackd
--sync -Xalsarawmidi -dalsa ...) + my Envy24 cards do fit to my needs
regarding to MIDI jitter, but audio doesn't ;). I do have a Swissonic
USB device, but I avoid to use any USB device when making music, perhaps
I'm wooed by fad ;), I even disable USB card reader by my
session-handling-scripts (sudo killall -9 -w pcscd ;). No USB mouse,
keyboard or printer etc. here. To be honset, I didn't tested zthe USB
MIDI with current Jack2.

Anyway, thank you very much,

Ralf
