If you are using the alsa-backend of jack for
audio, there is a commandline
switch to also forward the alsa-hw midi ports to jack-midi directly in jackd.
If not (because you use a firewire-device for example) a2jmidid has a
commandline-option to also bridge the alsa-hw midi ports to jack-midi...
What is this command-line switch, exactly?
