Yes. However, well-behaved JACK clients should afaik start jackd

What's
wrong with using either "-X seq" option to jackd or a2jmidid
instead?
Starting a jack daemon just to be able to send some midi to some midi device
is maybe a burden sometimes.. I like the idea of jack midi for internal
routing between applications, especially between Sequencers and Softsynths.
It lightens the burden on softsynth and sequencer implementers which would
otherwise have to take into account all kinds of scheduling and priorityu
issues. But MIDI also has more purposes than that..
Sure it does. But what makes ALSA MIDI more suitable for that purpose?
Jack MIDI is not the answer to all things MIDI IMHO..
Personally, I like to think of ALSA MIDI as a legacy interface.
