In the past I used jack2's -Xalsarawmidi option to get rid of bad timing
and jitter. I can't speak for current jack1 and jack2, but some time ago
-Xalsarawmidi improved those things a lot compared to jack1, which
didn't provide this option and compared to jack2 without using this
option.

Are we speaking about the same alsarawmidi thingy? I'm thinking of
something like this:
jackd --sync -Xalsarawmidi -dalsa -r$sample_rate -p$frames_period

Regards,
Ralf
