the timing behaviour of the two -X options (seq and raw) are not very good.
some might be sufficiently uncharitable as to call them "unusable".
a2jmidid (at least versions of it that are less than a year old) are much
much better and for now its the recommended way to make ALSA sequencer ports
show up in JACK.
some people (including julien) want JACK MIDI ports to show up as ALSA
sequencer ports too, so he has an additional program for that (j2a_bridge).
finally, julien is running a program to generate MIDI clock messages.
