[LAU] Getting Qsynth to work with JACK on Debian Lenny

[david]

A friend of mine who runs Debian Lenny (same as I do on this laptop), 
Qsynth/fluidsynth (0.2.5-2.2) and JACK (0.109.2.5) that I have. I start 
things this way:
1. Start JACK.
2. Start QSynth.
3. Connect QSynth to System output.
4. Connect my MIDI player to Qsynth.
5. Play MIDI - it works fine.

He does the same thing, and gets no sound whatsoever. But if he tells 
QSynth to use ALSA or OSS, it works fine ...

Any ideas?

Basically, he's looking for a way to play MIDI versions of hymns from 
websites (he's a priest). I don't suppose he really needs JACK for that, 
but he also likes Aeolus ...
