I tried it, but it wouldn't start since I don't use the ALSA sequencer
modules. I wrote a patch to fix that (attached) - if it can't open the
ALSA sequencer device it will simply not use MIDI, otherwise everything
should work normally.

Also, the JACK compatibility only extends to audio. It would be pretty
nice to have sample-synced JACK MIDI support.

Another wishlist item: LASH support.
