I'm curious what you find to be a nuisance about Jack MIDI?  I haven't  
used it much yet myself, so I don't yet have much of an opinion.   
FluidSynth now has support for Jack MIDI, if you weren't already aware  
of that.  I usually end up having to run something like a2jmidid to  
bridge ALSA sequencer clients/devices with Jack MIDI.  I like the idea  
of the whole audio and MIDI pipeline being synchronized though!  The  
API seems easy enough (just a raw MIDI stream for the most part,  
without running status).
