Isn't alsa-seq-server meant to be run as root / RC service?
AFAIK JACK clients and server have to be run by the same user.

Also it might be a bit confusing with audio/jack optionally depending on 
audio/alsa-lib and alsa-seq-server on audio/jack...

From a user perspective, having ALSA MIDI support directly in JACK would be 
preferable, I think. I'll have a look into that, probably next weekend. Did 
you see any major problems there?

Apart from that, I'm not opposed to any solution that works. With jack_umidi, 
alsa-seq-server and a2jmidid we already have some options, which is nice.
