the regular use for qsynth has been alsa_seq for midi input and jack for
audio output. this is indeed the default on linux, and has been like so
ever since qsynth exists.

therefore, you must have jackd started and snd-seq-midi loaded _before_
you run qsynth. once started make sure you setup midi input enabled and
midi driver set to midi_seq, audio driver to jack and please check and
match your sample-rate value, load a soundfont and restart.

in this configuration you must _not_ supply any midi or audio device
names. if those fields aren't blank, make them so.

or is it there must be something either one of us are missing ;)

cheers
