[LAU] timidity and jack issues

hi all. just wondering if there is anyone out there using timidity(2.13.2-r6) and jack successfully. i seem to be have some issues getting it to connect. firstly, i am using gentoo with a hdsp multiface. while i can get timidity to run quite nicely using the midi protocol, the audio seems to be a bit weird. running timidity without jack.... $ timidity -iA -B2,8 -Os -EFreverb=0 it is all fine and perfectly usable. ----------------------------------------------------------- with jackd 0.103.0 running $ jackd -R -dalsa -dhw:0,0 -r44100 -p64 -n2 and timidity as $ timidity -iA -B2,8 -Oj -EFreverb=0 JACK tmpdir identified as [/var/run/jack] TiMidity starting in ALSA server mode Opening sequencer port: 129:0 129:1 129:2 129:3 i can see the midi input in my qjackctl patchbay and this is usable. the problem is that i can hear the audio from timidity and is usable but i have no outputs in my qjackctl audio patchbay. also, i cannot see timidity ports showing up in the ardour buses. this seems weird that i can hear the timidity audio using jack but i cannot see or use output ports in qjackctl.
