Maybe. It has been mentioned, IIRC. What happened?

Well, I guess I'll just try one or more of them. I want to have
Audiality running as a JACK client ASAP, and the most important part
of that is the replacement of raw MIDI input with something
timestamped that some useful sequencer can handle. (Linux only of
course; I don't have, and don't want a Windows machine for sequencing
any more.)
