I remember reading that before, but the strange thing is I'm setup for
"seq" in QJackCtl, and my ~/.jackdrc has "-Xseq", and yet if I try to
send sysex from the shell with amidi while jackd is running I get a
device in use error. I don't know how to explain it, but that's what it
does, even with -Xseq.
