[LAU] jack-mixer questions

[didgewind]

hi there. I'm trying to set up jack mixer to be controlled with a korg 
nanokontrol 2. I'm using ubuntu natty and jack mixer version from the 
repositories.

First problem i'm facing is that jack-mixer uses jack midi and 
nanokontrol uses alsa midi. I kind of solved it running jack with raw or 
seq midi driver, running a2jmidid and connecting nanokontrol to midi 
through and wrapped a2jmidid midi through to jack mixer. Don't know 
whether there is an easier way.

Second problem, i can only assign midi channels when creating the input 
and output channels. If I try to edit any of the channels, the name of 
the channel dissapears and the midi assigns get lost. I tried to compile 
jack-mixer from the scratch, but the behaviour remains the same (and now 
i don't know how to uninstall jack mixer, by the way, 'cause it doesn't 
show up in dpkg nor synaptic package manager).

Third problem, by default master channel is assigned to midi input 11. 
That's handy sometimes, but not when u are using two different instances 
of jack mixer, one to mix the instrument i am playing with the 
synthetizer, routing everything to sooperlooper, and the second to mix 
this output with some other music and hydrogen. In this case the same 
hardware slider is moving both master channels, no handy at all.

so, any help with any question would be greatly apreciated.
