With jack2, I have found chmod -x /usr/bin/jackd helps. jackd does not do 
auto-pulse or gladish either anyway. What that leaves is jackdbus which is 
what qjackctl starts.

You can also play with jack_control for trouble shooting.

jack_control ds alsa dps capture hw:5,1 dps playback hw:5,0 dps \
 	rate 44100 dps period 256 dps nperiods 2 dps midi-driver seq \
 	ep realtime-priority 80 start

Should give you the same thing as the command below... but run jackdbus 
instead.

Ya, I know that is a long command line  :)

Personally, I would remove the dps midi-driver seq (-Xseq) and add the 
command:

a2j_control ehw start

But that is personal preference. You may have a better idea than I why you 
want seq.
