I think the problem here is a confusion between the qjackctl GUI and
JACK itself.
When I launch qjackctl, the window is labelled JACK Audio Connection
Kit. Despite this, they are not the same.
Qjackctl is a GUI written to manage JACK; but, as I understand it, it
also provides direct control of ALSA MIDI connections.

That's interesting. I have had various difficulties getting Rosegarden
to send MIDI to fluidsynth (managed with qsynth). Maybe I should try the
same?
