I'm still not sure why Ralf doesn't like a2jmidid, that is the
implementation which ships internally in jackd1 and is recommended by
the jack developers for jackd 2.
I like a2jmidid a lot, alsarawmidi doesn't replace it. When using
alsarawmidi you need a bridge, this bridge should be a2jmidid. FWIW I
guess we are talking about MIDI jitter when connecting the computer
with external gear. There should be no jitter at all, when using the
studio in the box without external MIDI gear.
Even Paul once didn't know jack2's alsarawmidi and IIRC it was Stéphane
who corrected him. However, a user who is satisfied with the result the
user hears, doesn't need to care about all this talk. A user
experiencing an issue shouldn't waste time by asking questions, the
user simply should test if "things" such as alsarawmidi make a
difference or not.
