$ jackd --sync -Xalsarawmidi -dalsa -r48000 -p256

The goal was to get hard-realtime quality for the MIDI hardware IOs by
alsarawmidi. To get Qtractor jack midi ports a bridge was needed,
alsarawmidi didn't provide it.

I don't know what the current situation is.

I guess I mentioned several times that only 2 of 8 ADAT ports of my RME
card are available by jackd and that there are always xruns when using
the RME card, so I don't use the computer to make music that much. IOW I
don't have experiences with current jackd versions.
