Correction: JACK does NOT handle MIDI data (yet). ALSA does, or more
precisely, the ALSA sequencer layer does. The MIDI tab on qjacktcl
connections window is there just as for convenience, as it follows the
very same paradigm. Most of the time when you're dealing with audio you'll
end dealing with MIDI too. At least on my home studio. That's why :)
