I just downloaded dino, and it became pretty clear that I don't have
jack midi working. I'm running jack version 0.103.0 on debian sid.
is there a way to enable jack midi functionality to my existing jack
without having to pull the whole thing apart and put it back together?
thanks,

qjackctl has a MIDI tab. Is that of any use to you?

to get jack midi going, you can add jackmidi to your USE flags on gentoo. im not sure how
to do it on debian - i guess you just hope they enabled midi in their binary, or compile
it yourself?
to get jackd to see your alsa midi devices, you have to do some extra work. namely use
http://subversion.jackaudio.org/jack/branches/midi/jack and add the -X flag to jackd
initiation (i could only get raw working)

Seems, it's better to remove midi branch to prevent confusion.

what this means is you shouldnt have to uninstall anything, at most you wil need to add
/usr/local/bin to your PATH variable.
you probably dont even need to compile jackd if you dont want alsa-midi (and are using a
bridge like alsaseq2jackmidi)

no regular user should EVER EVER EVER EVER install JACK in two locations
on their machine. we deal with endless problems with this attempt.
please do not recommend it.
if you want to install from source, you need to use --prefix=/usr at the
configure step. or face all kinds of puzzling and irritating behaviour.

I'm told that yet-to-be-released SVN versions of jackd do the bridging within itself,

Oops, I attached the current one :)
I will work only with SVN jack (and with it you don't need a bridge).
2:18 p.m.
Most of the jack_midi_... functions here need a nframes argument.
I had seen a funcion to get this from jack_get_buffer_size(_client) or from
info->nframes. Subtracted frame offsets if I knew them?
I can send you the modified sources if you want
When jack is running and I start it, I get ports created for everything that
shows in qjackctl's midi connections pane. I see nothing different in
qjackctl. If this what it should be doing and then, how do I connect them?

Jack
MIDI ports do show up in qjackctl's audio pane.
You can connect them as usual (but only midi to midi).
I use patchage here, it shows ports in different colors depending on port type.

Did not see them here. Qjackctl knows the jack_alsa is running because when I
stop jackd, I get messages like:
subgraph starting at alsa_midi timed out (subgraph_wait_fd=10, status = 0,
state = Triggered)

Check the sources. In one case, I start at nframes - 1 so I assume I am
looking at 1 frame. In another case, the frame_offset is calculated
explicitely--I moved this forward--so I subract from info->nframes.

As alternative to svn jackd, you could use alsaseq <-> jackmidi progies
too. They are bridges between alsa midi and jack midi.
And make sure you dont use qjackctl-0.2.22 (latest ATM). It does not
list jack midi ports. You may want to consider svn patchage as GUI
patchbay. Also jack_lsp will list jack midi ports too. And jack_connect
should work on them too. IIRC both are command line progies comming with
jack itself. Patchage is at http://wiki.drobilla.net/Patchage
