Ah, I think I get it now. Even though it's not relevant for my
current situation it sounds nice indeed. Thanks.
Alles klar. Well, mostly. I guess that alsa_midi
only makes sense
when alsa is used as a backend, so I don't quite see why it is a
server option instead of a backend option.
No, this is what is so lovely about it. You can now use a FFADO
backend *and* -X alsa_midi and get full bridging to ALSA MIDI just as
you would do with a2jmidid. This was impossible with the old
backend-based "seq" and "raw" options. This lets you interface with
ALSA-only MIDI apps even when using FFADO or other JACK backends such
as netjack.
