I remember reading that before, but the strange thing is I'm setup for 
"seq" in QJackCtl, and my ~/.jackdrc has "-Xseq", and yet if I try to 
send sysex from the shell with amidi while jackd is running I get a 
device in use error.  I don't know how to explain it, but that's what it 
does, even with -Xseq.
