Perhaps I'm mistaken, but since my sound card (the AF12) which houses the midi in/out

I have an Alesis SR-16 drum machine that I want
to control with muse (or
seq24) via midi. the SR-16 plugs into my EchoAudio AudioFire12 (AF12)
midi ports. My computer is running Fedora 10 CCRMA. I'm using jack,
a2jmidi, and muse. I'm not sure where I'm confused - I may have Muse,
jack, or a2jmidi misconfigured.
1. In case you don't know, you don't have to use JACK MIDI
if you don't want to. Most JACK Audio apps work just fine
using ALSA for midi.
2. Instead of a2jmidi, have you tried:
$ jackd -d alsa -Xseq
This is the built-in ALSA-to-JACK midi bridge. Another choice: The Non Sequencer
(http://non-sequencer.tuxfamily.org/)
is very much like seq24 and uses JACK MIDI.
Looks awesome. I'll check it out tomorrow.
