Jack and jack, both audio and midi. There are rumours of alsa drivers, but
so far as I know they are not there. If you must use it with alsa midi,
start with a2jmidid and use "MIDI Through" if you must. So long as the
application that uses alsa makes some alsa ports you can do all your
connects in jack midi with a2jmidid. But if the app just looks at alsa and
connects direct use the through as well.
