[LAU] JACK MIDI -X seq annoyance

This is driving me nuts. When I use the "-X seq" argument to JACK with JACK MIDI, it makes a bunch of bogus connections for EVERY synth, that get reported by ALSA via aconnect -lio,x and make it unreadable. i.e. Connecting To: 128:0[real:0] Connecting To: 128:0[real:0] Connecting To: 128:0[real:0] Connecting To: 128:0[real:0] .... spam spam spam spam..... on every port, of every synth. On my setup, this line gets repeated 28 times. We've got 128:0, we've got [real:0], we've got 128:0 and [real:0], we've got [real:0] and 128:0, we got..... But I don't LIKE 128:0[real:0]! In fact, there isn't any such synth! It doesn't exist at all, according to aconnect. I'm listing the available ALSA MIDI devices, and... other than 0: System, the synths start at 130. There is no 128. It is connected to nowhere. is a ghost device? What's up with this? Is there a way to make it stop? Thanks, and happy holidays. -ken
