Indeed, that wiki gives answers to most of the questions about jack
raised in this thread.
The table of jack 1/2 differences leaves me with one question, though:
What is meant by "Has builtin integration with Linux MIDI"?
Does that mean that with jack 2 I have to use a2j or a similar tool to
have access to ALSA MIDI clients via jack MIDI, but not with jack 1?

The thing that surprised me the most was seeing the note at the very bottom about Jack2
using a default, fixed larger MIDI buffer size whereas Jack1's is smaller by default
and configurable. I had thought from previous conversations on this list (I think mainly
investigations done by Ralph??) that MIDI buffer/delay/jitter appeared to be affected by
Jack's audio buffer size. No idea if tests were done with Jack1 or Jack2 or how
conclusive they were though. Also didn't want to take the subject too far way from the
original point of conversation...
