I'm still at work, but this brings to mind an interesting question:

Is it better to route such things as MTC and MMC through JackMidi, or
would it cause problems to use AlsaMidi instead. Also, is it better to
deal with 'seq' or 'raw' ports in QJackCtl, and in Ardour configs?

I'm just wondering if there's something about MMC that wouldn't pass
through the Alsa sequencer for some reason, that needs raw device
access.
