if you don't want to. Most JACK Audio apps work just fine
using ALSA for midi.
2. Instead of a2jmidi, have you tried:
$ jackd -d alsa -Xseq
This is the built-in ALSA-to-JACK midi bridge.
Perhaps I'm mistaken, but
since my sound card (the AF12) which houses the
midi in/out is a firewire device which requires the ffado firewire driver
then I must use jack and create the alsa/jack bridge with a2jmidi. Is this
right?
That is right. Unless all the apps you use have jack-midi...
Have a nice weekend,
