While some applications (yoshimi is a good example ;-) and there are 
others) are supporting both alsa-midi and jack-midi, some are jack-midi 
only (as in the examples I provided).

I've often stated that I'd be happy for rosegarden 'not to make sound' 
in itself and 'just' be the best Linux sequencer ;-) _but_ ... then it 
means it should also provide flexible and versatile inter-operability 
and communication with the ecosystem.

I do also have a few ideas about more sequencer-oriented features which 
I'd be happy to see prioritized vs. jack-midi... This just came to my 
mind reading the other thread on 'synths' ;-)

Again, my two cents :-)
